When approaching another vessel head-on, both vessels should alter their course to starboard (right) to pass each other safely. This helps to avoid a collision by ensuring that both vessels steer clear of each other. It's essential to communicate intentions clearly, using sound signals if necessary, and maintain a proper lookout. Always prioritize safety and follow the navigation rules applicable to the situation.
