Both vessels are required to maintain their speed and course in a crossing situation, allowing the stand-on vessel to maintain its course and the give-way vessel to take the appropriate action to avoid a collision.
In a crossing situation, the vessel that must maintain its course and speed (Vessel B) is referred to as the "stand-on vessel." This vessel is required to continue on its current path while the other vessel (the give-way vessel) is expected to take action to avoid a collision. The stand-on vessel has the right of way under maritime navigation rules.
The stand- on boat may vary depending on the situation. The rules for avoiding collisions are guidelines.

Give-way vessel
It depends on the Situation, in a Crossing situation where there are 2 vessels crossing each other, the vessel which has the other vessel on her starboard side shall give way and avoid an alteration of course to Port. So you are the 'stand on' boat if you can see a boat on your port bow...more or less.
Give-way vessel
Power-driven vessels should yield to other vessels when they are overtaking, approaching head-on, or crossing paths.
No. Capacitance vessels refer to site where most volume of blood is found. Veins are capacitance vessels.
Most vessels are referred to as she, or her.
When two power driven vessels are meeting or crossing, the vessel that is to the starboard (right) is the stand on vessel. The stand-on (privileged) is to maintain course and speed. Please refer to the link below on the "Stand on" vessel.
In an emergency situation aboard a vessel, a red light at the stern typically signifies that the vessel is not under command and has limited ability to maneuver. This is a signal to other vessels to proceed with caution and give way to the vessel displaying the red light. It is important for other vessels to maintain a safe distance and be prepared to assist if needed.
