Right-of-way and Give-way
In nautical terms the stand-on (privileged) vessel has
the right-of-way and the give-way (burdened) vessel
must yield or give way.
Stand-on Vessel
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to
continue its course and speed, except to avoid an
immediate collision. By maintaining course and speed,
other vessels should be able to determine how best to
avoid interfering with its course.
Give-way Vessel
The give-way vessel is responsible for taking positive
action to stay clear of the stand-on vessel. Give-way
vessels should not cross in front of stand-on vessels.
The give-way vessel should slow down or change
direction briefly and cross behind the stand-on vessel.
The give-way vessel's actions should be clear and
understandable by the stand-on vessel.
