Crossing give-way — constrained sea room to starboard

Course 000°, 10 knots, a charted shoal bank and moored fish farms lying close along your starboard hand. A motor vessel bears 050° at just under three miles, crossing from starboard on a steady bearing. You must keep out of her way, but a large alteration to starboard would take you into foul ground.
