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 is on a collision course with another vessel is required to give way. The stand-on vessel, which is not required to take evasive action, should maintain its course and speed. This protocol is established to prevent collisions and ensure safe navigation. However, the stand-on vessel should still be prepared to take action if it becomes apparent that a collision cannot be avoided.
Maintain course and speed.
The stand- on boat may vary depending on the situation. The rules for avoiding collisions are guidelines.
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.
