    But do not go to port in a crossing situation – if the other ship goes
    to starboard, as it should, then both ships will turn towards each
    other.
    Do not forget the ‘wake up’ signal under Rule 34(d) on manoeuvring
    and warning signals. Blow your horn and flash your lights at the other
    vessel but think twice before calling it on VHF, because that always
    takes valuable time during which the risk of collision will increase.

    Summary
    When approaching a give-way ship, maintain course and speed
    but always be prepared to take action to avoid a collision.
