When overtaking another vessel in darkness or reduced visibility, the overtaking vessel must keep a safe distance and maintain a proper lookout. It should also ensure that it follows the navigation rules, particularly the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), which dictate that the overtaking vessel must sound the appropriate signal and proceed with caution. Additionally, the overtaking vessel should avoid any sudden maneuvers that could confuse the other vessel.
In a maritime context, if you are the stand-on vessel in an overtaking situation, it means you have the right of way and should maintain your course and speed. The overtaking vessel is required to keep clear and maneuver around you safely. It is crucial for the stand-on vessel to remain vigilant and aware of the overtaking vessel's actions, as there may be circumstances where taking evasive action becomes necessary for safety.
