The General Rule of Responsibility

• You must comply with The Rules
• You must take every precaution required by the
  ordinary practice of good seamanship to avoid
  immediate danger, including collision.
• Precaution may include departing from the rules.

25

• A power-driven vessel seeing another vessel
  crossing off its starboard side is the give-way
  vessel
• The crossing vessel is the stand-on vessel, but
  must always take action to avoid collision
