So, in fact Rule 14 of International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGS) -1972 should be strictly adhered to: "...When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether such a situation exists we shall assume that it does exist and act accordingly...", i. e. alter the course to starboard.
