Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were both at the fuel dock with Vessel 2 tied up in front of Vessel 1.  No one was on board Vessel 2 at the time of the accident.  The Operator of Vessel 1 had just refueled Vessel 1 and was attempting to maneuever away from the gas pump, and being relatively unfamiliar with the operation of Vessel 1 (less than 10 hours of experience on this vessel), he accelerated too quickly, colliding with Vessel 2 in front of him.  The bow pontoon of Vessel 1 struck the port side of Vessel 2, causing fiberglass damage.  Vessel 1 suffered no damages from the incident, and Occupants were not injured aboard either vessel.
