The Operator of Vessel 1 was travelling up river near the marina when the Operator shifted the starboard engine ahead and the port engine into reverse in an attempt to come to port for docking. The Operator reported that Vessel 1 did not respond to the controls and that, despite increasing the throttles in an attempt to get Vessel 1 to respond, the bow of Vessel 1 then struck the starboard bow of Vessel 2.
