What is a give-way vessel required to do?

Increase speed
Make noise
Take early substantial actions to avoid collision
Ignore other vessels

The correct answer is: Take early substantial actions to avoid collision

A give-way vessel is a vessel that does not have the right of way and must yield to other vessels. In order to avoid a collision, the give-way vessel is required to take early substantial actions, such as changing course or speed, to avoid impeding the path of the stand-on vessel. Increasing speed may not always be the best course of action and could actually increase the risk of a collision. Making noise is not a necessary action and may not be effective in preventing a collision. Ignoring other vessels is not only incorrect, but also dangerous and could lead to a collision. Therefore, the correct answer is C Take early substantial actions to avoid collision.
