When two powered vessels approach each other head-on, both vessels should adhere to the “Stand-On” and “Give Way” rules outlined in maritime navigation. In this case, both vessels should steer to their right (starboard) to pass each other on their left side (port to port). This maneuver is similar to cars on a highway, where vehicles typically pass each other on the left. This helps to avoid collisions and ensures safe navigation. Remember, safety is always the priority on the water! If you need more details, check the extended services page for additional guidance.
