Action by Give-way Vessel
Every vessel directed to keep out of the way shall take early and substantial action to keep well clear.
Rule 16 specifies what the give-way vessel must do. Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of another vessel shall, so far as possible, take early and substantial action to keep well clear.
The action must be: - Early — not last-minute - Substantial — clearly visible to the other vessel - Effective — resulting in a safe passing distance
