Crossing Situation

When two power-driven vessels are crossing, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side shall keep out of the way.

Rule 15 governs crossing situations between power-driven vessels.

When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.

The give-way vessel should preferably alter course to starboard to pass astern of the stand-on vessel. The key principle is: if the other vessel is on your starboard side, you give way.
