The head and starboard side of the vessel is toward you
When boating at night, a single white light on a vessel tells you that it is anchored.
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.
When boating at night a red and white light on a vessel tells you that you must give way to the other vessel.
You are the stand-on vessel but should take precautions in case the other operator doesn't see you.
During nighttime transit another boat's lights show: Green - the right, or starboard side, of that vessel; Red - the left, or port side, of that vessel; White - the rear of that vessel. The vessel is heading directly toward you
