When crossing paths what is the give-way vessels responsibility?

When vessels are crossing paths, the give-way vessel is responsible for taking action to avoid a collision. This typically involves altering its course or speed to ensure the safe passage of the stand-on vessel, which has the right of way. The give-way vessel must be vigilant and make its intentions clear to avoid confusion. It's essential for the give-way vessel to maintain a proper lookout and adhere to navigational rules to ensure safety on the water.
