Give-way vessel
The operator of a stand-on vessel should maintain course and speed, allowing the give-way vessel to take necessary action to avoid a collision. They should be prepared to alter course if the give-way vessel does not take action or if a collision becomes imminent. It is important for the stand-on vessel to stay vigilant and be ready to communicate with the give-way vessel if necessary.
the give-way vessel
If you are the stand-on vessel, your duty is to maintain course and speed so as to provide a predictable object which the give way vessel can avoid. You must not take any action which would impede the give way vessel from carrying out his obligation to keep clear. In the event however, that the give-way vessel fails to alter course or speed to keep clear, then the stand -on vessel shall take such action necessary to avoid a collision.
