As the operator of the give-way vessel, what must you do?

Signal the stand-on vessel to change course
Take early and substantial action to avoid collisions
Maintain speed and direction
Anchor immediately

The correct answer is: Take early and substantial action to avoid collisions

As the operator of the give-way vessel, it is your responsibility to take early and substantial action to avoid collisions. This means that you must stay vigilant and be ready to change your speed and direction to avoid potential collisions with other vessels. Option A is incorrect because signaling the stand-on vessel to change course is not enough to ensure the safety of both vessels. Option C is incorrect because maintaining speed and direction may not be enough to avoid collisions. Option D is incorrect because anchoring immediately is not a necessary or appropriate action in this situation.
