What must a stand-on vessel do?

Stop immediately
Maintain its course and speed
Always give way
Dance

The correct answer is: Maintain its course and speed

A stand-on vessel refers to a boat or ship that has the right of way when it comes to avoiding collisions at sea. This means that in order to avoid collisions with other vessels, a stand-on vessel must maintain its course and speed unless it is necessary to change course in order to avoid a collision. Option A, stopping immediately, would be incorrect as this could also potentially cause a collision. Option C, always giving way, would be incorrect as this would mean that the vessel would not be following its designated right of way. Option D, dancing, is obviously not a serious option and would not be a proper action for a stand-on vessel to take in order to avoid collisions.
