RedactedNarrative: On September 8, 2020 at approximately 1000 hours I received a call for a late reported property damage boat accident that had occurred a Fuel Dock two days prior on 09/06/2020 at approximately 1600. 
  
  Operator 2, the complainant, advised that their 2020 Bayliner was docked and unoccupied at the docks in front of a Fuel Dock at which time a 1995 American 42 ft vessel bearing MD 7384 E was reversing from the fuel docks, shifted gears to move the vessel forward, at which time it stayed in reverse and struck the bow area and port side of her vessel.  She provided photos as the vessel was no longer in the area and shows scratches and fiberglass gouges in those areas.
  
  Neither vessel was still in the area.  Information had already been exchanged between both parties on scene, however Operator 2 decided that she wished to report it to NRP as well after the fact.  I advised Operator 2 to get an estimate for damages, which would determine if it met the criteria for a boat accident or not. 
  
  On September 30, 2020 Operator 2 stated that her insurance adjuster totaled the damage at $2157.00.
  
  I then made contact with the owner/operator of the striking vessel, Operator 1.  Operator 1 stated that he was reversing away from the fuel docks, and as he shifted the throttles forward, the vessel continued reversing and the starboard/stern area of his vessel struck the bow area of her vessel.  Due to the size difference, the striking vessel raised the bow of the struck vessel from the water.  Operator 1 stated he completed repairs himself, but estimated that it would have been approximately $3800 in damages had he gone somewhere.  Operator 1 has been operating vessels for over 29 years and is in possession of boater safety as well. 
  
  All events occurred in Queen Anne's County, Maryland.
  
  I request this case be closed.
