When overtaking another power-driven vessel, first ensure you have a clear view of the situation and that the other vessel is aware of your intentions. Maintain a safe distance and signal your approach using appropriate sound signals, as required by maritime rules. Once you have confirmed that it's safe, maneuver to overtake on the side that allows for maximum safety, typically the port side, and return to your course only after you have safely cleared the other vessel. Always keep a watchful eye for any changes in the other vessel's movements during the maneuver.
