RedactedNarrative: Vessel traveling eastward on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) approaching the Jupiter Federal Bridge (US-1) was unable to effectively maneuver due to other vessel traffic, weather conditions, and the engines stalling resulting in collisions with the bridge. The subject vessel made several contacts with the bridge's concrete pilings before contacting the nearby engineering barge. No injuries were reported. The engineering contractor onsite reported the incident to the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding the bridge. 
  The operator, OP1 attempted to avoid passing beneath the bridge because of concern that their vessel would not clear the bridge due to height. The vessel maneuver was unsuccessful due to waterway congestion limiting available water to use for maneuvering and the eastward flowing tidal currents swept stronger than OP1 anticipated. The vessel then rotated with the bow facing north leaving the starboard side to contact the bridge’s large concrete section. The operator, OP1, stated that while attempting to utilize reverse thrust believes that he used too much throttle for his engines causing them to stall which allowed the vessel to make a slow speed contact with more of the concrete bridge pilings, including a test piling nearby. OP1 then regained engine power to get off the concrete pilings and began travelling westward and collided with the construction barge located on the south side of the channel. Construction site workers then assisted by tying the vessel to the construction barge allowing the vessel to be docked and no longer be operated. 
  	The engines were initially reported to be smoking after the maneuvers, which was later determined to be steam created from their overheating. After the vessel engines were able to cool, they were able to start and run without incident. The vessel sustained damages upon the starboard rub-rail area near the stern, midship, and bow areas. The vessel also sustained damages upon the keel edge of the bow matching the profile of the construction barge. OP1 estimated $15,000 in damages to his vessel.
