Assuming the other precautionary measures are in place, as per rule 19e - Except where it has been determined that a risk of collision does not exist, every vessel which hears apparently forward of her beam the fog signal of another vessel, or which cannot avoid a close-quarters situation with another vessel forward of her beam, shall reduce her speed to be the minimum at which she can be kept on her course. She shall if necessary take all her way off and in any event navigate with extreme caution until danger of collision is over- you should-
a. determine if risk of collision exists
b. if risk exists then slow down/take all way off.
