If they are BOTH power driven vessels, the vessel to "right" (Starboard) would be the "stand on" vessel, maintaining course and speed. The Vessel on the "left" (Port) is the "give way" vessel and will have to (if) possible avoid crossing in front of the stand on vessel. Please refer to the link below. Rule 15

When two power driven vessels are about to cross paths what should the operator of the power driven vessel on the right do?

The power vehicle is on the right, therefore it is looking at the other vehicle's green light, making the vehicle on the right the stand on vehicle (meaning it maintains present course and speed).

When two personal watercraft are crossing at right angles what should the craft on the right do?

The craft on the right is the "stand on" vessel, the one with the right of way, he must remain on course at speed and be prepared to avoid collision if the "make way vessel" (to port side) makes no effort to avoid or change course or speed. Avoid collisions if you are able, do not assume the operator of the other vessel sees you or knows the "aids to navigation." Exceptions to these rules, powered vessels must give way to sail and oared vessels, and less maneuverable or towed vessels, regardless of orientation.
