Head-on situation: both turn to starboard. COLREGs Rule 14

Two power-driven vessels are meeting head on. At night you would see both sidelights at once. Who gives way? COLREGs Rule 14: neither is privileged. Each alters course to starboard, and they pass port to port. Waiting for the other one to turn first is not a plan: both are waiting, and the distance is running out. Alter early and alter big, so the move is seen and not guessed. Remember it like this: head on, both turn right. The Give-way series: eight COLREGs rules, one rule per video.
