What else can I help you with?
What should you do if you see another vessel red and white light off your starboard?
maneuver to avoid a collision
How would you determine whether the risk of collision exist between your vessel and another vessel?
The standard answer is constant bearing. As soon as a another vessel is sighted at sea, you take a compass bearing on it, and you keep on taking compass bearings. If the bearing does not change, you are on a collision course. If it's on your port side, do nothing. If it's on your starboard side, give way by changing speed or course.

Maneuver to avoid a collision
When encountering another vessel in darkness what is indicated by the presence of only a white light?
If you see a vessel displaying only a white light, it indicates that the vessel is a power-driven vessel. This vessel is approaching you head-on or is overtaking you. In both cases, you should be prepared to take action to avoid a collision.
In a crossing situation which vessel is required to maintain its cours and speed?
In a crossing situation, the vessel that is on a collision course with another vessel is required to give way. The stand-on vessel, which is not required to take evasive action, should maintain its course and speed. This protocol is established to prevent collisions and ensure safe navigation. However, the stand-on vessel should still be prepared to take action if it becomes apparent that a collision cannot be avoided.
Vessel not under command?
The term "vessel not under command" means a vessel which through some exceptional circumstance is unable to maneuver as required by the Collision Regulations and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel. Is does not (as often thought) mean (although it can) that there is no one in charge on the bridge.

In which of the following scenarios should a boat operator alter their course and keep clear of another vessel?
A boat operator should alter their course and keep clear of another vessel when overtaking another vessel, when navigating in narrow channels where the other vessel has the right of way, or when approaching a vessel that is restricted in its ability to maneuver. Additionally, if another vessel is displaying any signals indicating it is constrained by draft or operating under sail, the boat operator should take measures to avoid a collision. It's essential to prioritize safety and adhere to navigation rules.
When two vessels are in a crossing situation on the water the vessel that must take early and substantial action to avoid a collision vessel a is called what?
