RedactedNarrative: On July 4th, 2022, at 11:00 PM, I, Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, responded to Atlantic Marina on the Patapsco for a vessel accident.  Atlantic Marina on the Patapsco is located at 2010 Knollview Ave, Pasadena, Maryland 21122. 
  
  The caller stated that "A vessel came in and struck a vessel on pier A, then backed up rapidly and appeared to strike a vessel on pier B."  He also advised that the boat appeared to be revving higher than usual (over 2,000 RPM).  After striking the vessels, the vessel was able to be taken back out of the marina basin back onto the Patapsco River.  The vessels that were struck were in their slips and no occupants on board at the time of the accident.  Two managers from the marina went out on a vessel to assist the occupants.  That is when subject called the Maryland Natural Resources Police for assistance.  I have attached a witness statement completed to my report.
  
  I arrived on the scene, and attempted to locate the vessel.  I was met by a manager who advised that two other workers from the marina went out to assist the striking vessel and should be back in shortly.  It appeared the vessel was having mechanical problems that contributed to the accident.
  
  At 11:37 PM, the striking vessel came back into the marina and backed into its slip.  The  vessel had 4 occupants on board and no injuries.
  
  Operator1 is the owner and was operating the vessel at the time of the accident.  He stated that they just had two new motors put in and that when he put the vessel in gear, it took off.  All safety gear was present and in good standing.   The vessel is a 2006 32ft Larson Cabrio 330 with Maryland registration.  The vessel has significant gouges in the fiberglass to the starboard side as well as a cracked motor cowling/vent to the stern - starboard corner.  There were also some gouges in the fiberglass on the port side.  Through my training, knowledge, and experience, the damage exceeded 2,000 dollars.
  
  The first vessel to be struck was in its slip directly next to Operator1 slip.  That vessel has a Maryland registration.  The boat, 2005 38ft Sea Ray 340, was in the slip, with no occupants on board.  Subject1 was not at the marina at the time of the accident.  The vessel's anchor appeared to be twisted and the housing of the anchor was shifted to the port and ripped up the fiberglass and gel coat.  I have attached pictures of the damage.  I could not see any other damage to the vessel but will follow up with Subject1 for any other damages.
  
  The second vessel to be struck was also in a slip unoccupied at the time.  The vessel is a 2004 36ft Sea Ray.  The vessel has Maryland registration.  The anchor on the vessel appeared to have some fiberglass residue on it but did not appear to have any significant damage to it when it made contact with the port side of Operator1's vessel.  I will follow up with subject2 for any other damage that may have occurred.
  
  I spoke with one of the marina workers who assisted the striking vessel.  He advised that he saw a boat attempting to dock and that seemed out of control.  He sprang into action and jumped aboard the striking vessel.  He stated that the vessel would not shift into neutral and to avoid any other damage to property or persons, he took the boat out of the marina basin and onto the Patapsco river.  Another vessel with the second marina worker came out with tools, and they were able to fix the issue and bring the boat back safely.  I have attached a witness statement completed.
  
  Due to the damage to the striking vessel and the first victim vessel and a Watercraft Accident Report will be completed and attached.
  
  Due to the time of night and low light, it was difficult to see if any other vessels were possibly struck.  I gave my email address and the DNR communications number to the marina manager for any other owners to report damage to their vessel.  Photographs of damage to all vessels involved are attached to my report.
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
