18.01.2022 Colregs Law 15 says "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. But we're not sure how that applies with a Give Way sign involved.
