Rules when encountering vessels
There are  three  main situations  which you
may  encounter   with  other  vessels   which
could lead to a  collision unless the Steering
Rules are followed:
Meeting: (you are approaching another ves-
sel head-on)
Crossing: (you are traveling across the oth-
er vessel’s path)
Overtaking:   (you  are   passing   or   being
passed by another vessel)
Crossing
When two power driven vessels are crossing
each other’s  path  close enough  to run  the
risk of collision, the vessel which has the oth-
er on the starboard (right) side must keep out
of the way of the other. If the other  vessel is
on your right,  you must keep out of  its way;
you  are the  Give-Way  vessel.  If the  other
vessel is on  your port (left)  side, remember
that you  should maintain  course and direc-
tion, provided the other vessel gives you the
right-of-way as it should.
In the following illustration, your boat is in the
center. You  should give  the right-of-way  to
any vessels shown in white area (you are the
Give-Way vessel). Any vessels  in the shad-
ed area must yield to you (they are the Give-
Way  vessels).  Both  you  and  the  meeting
vessel must alter course to avoid each other.
Meeting
If  you  are  meeting  another  power  vessel
head on, and are close enough to run the risk
of collision,  neither of  you has  the right-of-
way! Both of you should alter course to avoid
an accident. You should keep the other ves-
sel on your port  (left) side. This rule doesn’t
apply if both  of you will clear  one another if
you continue on your set course and speed.
Overtaking
If you  are passing  another vessel,  you are
the “Give-Way” vessel.  This means that the
other  vessel   is  expected   to  maintain  its
course and speed.  You must stay  out of its
way until you  are clear of it. Likewise,  if an-
other  vessel  is   passing  you,  you   should
maintain your speed and direction so that the
other vessel can steer itself around you.
