In an overtaking situation at sea, being the "stand-on" vessel means you are required to maintain your course and speed, allowing the other vessel (the "give-way" vessel) to maneuver to avoid a collision. The stand-on vessel has the right of way, but it should still be prepared to take action if the give-way vessel does not appropriately respond. This principle helps ensure safety and predictability in navigation.
In an overtaking situation at sea, the "stand-on vessel" is the ship that has the right of way and should maintain its course and speed. The other vessel, known as the "give-way vessel," is required to take action to avoid a collision by altering its course or speed. It is crucial for the stand-on vessel to remain vigilant and aware of the give-way vessel's actions, as it still needs to be prepared to avoid an accident if necessary.
