RedactedNarrative: V1 was tied up at the dock inside the marina, however, no one was aboard the vessel. Operator2 attempted to enter the marina with a 116 ft steel vessel. Operator2's vision was slightly obscured due to a shrimp vessel that was also tied to the dock at the marina. operator2 did not look ahead to ensure that the area was cleared before entering the marine. As he entered the marina, he noticed that he would pass too close to V1 vessel. By the time that he noticed his error, it was too late to maneuver vessel without colliding with Operator1's vessel. Once the two vessels collided, Operator2's vessel crushed V1 vessel between the steel hull of the 116 ft research vessel and the dock, causing significant damage. alcohol and/or drugs were not a factor in this vessel accident.
