On 01/01/2012 the KINGFISH  (Vessel #1) was docked at Nautical Landing on Lake Union.  At approximately 12:30 am Vessel #1 was hit by the LONGHAUL (Vessel #2) on the port side.  The operator of Vessel #2 said that while undocking, he noticed the stern thruster was not functioning properly and when he tried to slowly apply the throttle, he was not able to avoid contact with Vessel #1.

The damages to the KINGFISH were a detached rub rail on the lower port side and the port side door and hull were damaged.
