The vessel with the right-of-way has the

duty to continue its course and speed, ex-

cept to avoid an immediate collision. When

you maintain your direction and speed, the

other vessel will be able to determine how

best to avoid you.

The vessel that does not have the right of

way has the duty to take positive and time-

ly action to stay out of the way of the stand-

on vessel. Normally, the give-way vessel

should not cross in front of the stand-on

vessel, but should slow down or change

direction briey and pass behind the other

vessel. You should always move in such a

way that the stand-on operator can see what

you are doing if you are operating the give-

way vessel.

Rules When Encountering Vessels

There are three (3) main situations in

which you may encounter other vessels,

and you must avoid a collision. These are:

• Meeting (you are approaching another

vessel head-on).

• Crossing (you are traveling across the

other vessel’s path).

• Overtaking (you are passing or being

passed by another vessel).

Meeting

If you are meet-

ing another vessel

head-on, and you

are close enough

to run the risk of

collision, neither

of you has the

right-of-way. Both

of you should al-

ter course to avoid

an accident. You

should keep the

other vessel on your port (left) side. (This

rule doesn’t apply if both of you can clear

each other by continuing your set course

and speed.)

Crossing

When two (2)

power-driven ves-

sels are crossing

each other’s path

close enough to

run the risk of collision, the vessel that

views the crossing vessel to the starboard

(right) side must give way.

If the other vessel is to the port (left)

side, you are the stand-on vessel, and pro-

vided the other vessel gives you the right-

of-way, maintain your course and direction.

Overtaking

If you are pass-

ing another vessel,

you are the give-

way vessel. This

means that the oth-

er vessel is expect-

ed to maintain its

course and speed.

You must stay out of its way as you clear it,

altering course and speed as necessary.

Conversely, if you are being passed by

another vessel, you are the stand-on vessel,

and you should maintain your speed and

direction so that the vessel can be steered

around you.

Other Special Situations

There are additional rules to remember

when operating your boat around other ves-

sels, such as:
