A stand-on vessel is a term used in maritime navigation to describe a vessel that has the right of way in a crossing situation. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), the stand-on vessel is required to maintain its course and speed while the give-way vessel must take action to avoid a collision. The stand-on vessel must be vigilant and prepared to take evasive action if the give-way vessel does not comply. Ultimately, being the stand-on vessel emphasizes the importance of situational awareness and safe navigation practices.
