What is the duty of stand-on boat?

The duty of the stand-on boat in a crossing situation is to maintain course and speed while the give-way boat is required to take action to avoid a collision. The stand-on vessel should be aware of its surroundings and be prepared to take evasive action if it becomes clear that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate measures to avoid a collision. It is important for the stand-on boat to signal its presence and intentions when necessary, ensuring safety on the water.
