If you are on the right, what does that imply?

Being "on the right" in a navigation context generally refers to a situation where you have the right of way. This means that in a meeting or crossing situation with another vessel, you are in a position where the other vessel should yield to you, allowing you to maintain your course and speed. It signifies that you are following the navigational rules that dictate prioritization on the water.

While being on the right does not specifically indicate that you are in a power-driven vessel, overtaking, or just asserting any claim to navigation status, it firmly establishes your position of having the right of way—a crucial principle for safe navigation to prevent collisions and ensure the orderly movement of vessels. Understanding this concept is critical for any operator to effectively navigate waterways and communicate intentions with other vessels.
