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.
DO NOT rely on these videos to learn the "COLREGS" as there are many fundamental flaws in their rationale, for example from time 1:00 in this video states that the vessel A keeps out of the way by going LEFT !!!!! or slowing down, this is principally wrong, Rule 15 of the colregs says to avoid if possible going ahead of the other vessel so a turn to port or left as they say would be bad seamanship. Better to turn to starboard and go behind the other vessel.
