The Rules of the Road are a set of navigation rules that specify which ship is required to take action. The full situation would have to be shown to identify which of the two ships is the "stand-on" vessel,

Where two power driven vessels are meeting or crossing, the vessel to starboard is the "Stand-on" vessel (privileged) and the vessel to the port is the "give-way" (burdened) vessel and must keep out of the way.

Please refer to the link provided below. See Rules 16 & 17.

*It is a false interpretation of the rules to refer to vessel as having the "right of way" over another vessel EXCEPT in Rule 9 (Narrow Channels and fairways)

Both vessels are responsible for taking early and substantial action to avoid collisions. However, vessels not under command, restricted in their ability to maneuver, constrained by their draft, fishing, or towing have the right of way, and the other vessel should take action to avoid them.
