If an operator has had a collision with another vessel, the first obligation is to stop the vessel and assess the situation. They must ensure the safety of all individuals involved and provide assistance if necessary. Additionally, they should exchange information with the other vessel's operator, such as names, registration numbers, and insurance details, and notify the appropriate authorities as required.

You are the stand-on vessel but be prepared to give way if necessary. When you see a white and a green light, you are the stand-on vessel. You should remain alert, however, in case the other vessel operator does not see you or does not know navigational rules.

All boats that operate between sunset and sunrise, as well as those that operate in reduced visibility during the day, are required to display navigational lights. This includes powerboats, sailing vessels, and personal watercraft. The specific lighting requirements can vary based on the size and type of the vessel, but generally, all vessels must have appropriate lights to ensure visibility and safety on the water. Additionally, larger commercial vessels have more stringent lighting requirements to signal their size and maneuverability.
