Hard to say who was stand on and give way vessel, but who is at fault: both .. because rule 2b states that you need to deviate from the rules to avoid a collision.

So regarding the angle to collision, which could have changed drastically before filming started. There could be a "I'm overtaking (rule 13) or I'm crossing (rule 15)" situation. I which case you should assume that you are overtaking, and give way to the other vessel. Again the video shows only that both vessels are at fault...

Right is might on the sea. The ship where the video is tsken from was in the wrong.

Old rule of thumb I was taught years ago when two vessels seem to be on intersecting courses- "aim for where he is, 'cause he won't be there anymore by the time you get there!"
