Navigation lights are required on all water craft at night. The normal light configuration consists of a red and green lamp in front and a white lam at the rear. The red light is on the port (left) and the green on the starboard (right) side of the craft.
The green light would be the starboard steaming light, the white the masthead light. What you would do would depend on factors such as its releative bearing and in what waters you are sailing.
