Did you give a sound signals to avert any misunderstanding? Maybe call it on ch 16? As a bigger vessel it is good seamanship to look after smaller vessels even though you are trying to follow the colregs correctly.

I had two small fishing craft (not commercial) on my starboard beam and starboard quarter respectively. I had already slowed down, and altered course but he had set off from stationary directly towards me. Probably just wants to have a look but they don’t realise how close they are. I didn’t on this occasion sound a signal, i could however see through binoculars that he was watching me, but in my opinion, not taking sufficient action .
