If you are the stand-on vessel approaching another boat, it means you have the right of way and should maintain your course and speed. However, if it becomes clear that the give-way vessel is not taking adequate measures to avoid a collision, you must still take action to avoid the situation, prioritizing safety above all. In some cases, even as the stand-on vessel, you may need to give way if it ensures a safer outcome. Always assess the situation and act accordingly to prevent accidents.
