Vessel A had just maneuvered ahead on its starboard forward springline at the dock sending the stern away from the dock. The springline was recovered and the operator began to backdown. Vessels B and C were rafted together at the dock, astern of vessel A. Vessel A struck vessel B on the bow making contact with vessel A's starboard bow. This force pushed vessel B's bow away from vessel C, straining and parting the lines securing vessel B to vessel C. The force also pushed the starboard quarter of vessel B into the port quarter of vessel C causing damage.
