  On this date subject came in to the Atlantic City station to report a vessel accident which occurred the day prior. Subject stated he was working on his vessel which is moored at dock "F" in the Farley State Marina, and noticed damage to his bow pulpit. Subject further stated he noticed new damage to a vessel moored on "G" dock which was consistent to the damage to his vessel. Subject described the vessel as a white, approximately 51' Sea Ray with damage to the starboard side. 
  
  It should be noted, Subject was on his vessel the day prior (07/17/2018) to the incident and stated there was no damage to his vessel at that time. 
  
  I continued this investigation and located the vessel which Subject was referencing. The vessel was not displaying registration numbers nor a documented name. I was also unable to locate a HIN on the vessel. I then attempted to contact the Farley State Marina manager in an effort to obtain this information and left several messages which were not returned.

  I spoke to Subject who said he had learned that operator1 was the owner of the vessel involved in this incident.

  After attempting to contact Operator1 for approximately a week, I was able to speak to him about the incident. Operator1 stated he was fully responsible for the incident. He said as he was attempting to dock his vessel and the joystick malfunctioned.  He was unable to regain maneuverability until his vessels starboard side came into contact with Subject's bow.  Operator1 also said he had contacted Subject and was in the process of reimbursing him for the damages inflicted to his vessel. Operator1 further stated he was away on business and was unable to obtain the proper document I needed for this investigation however would send same when he returned.

  Spoke to Subject who stated arrangements had been made with Operator1 to repair his vessel. During the duration from 08/04/18 to 08/16/18 I attempted to retrieve the needed document from Operator1.

  Vessel #1 sustained damage to the starboard side windows and fiberglass. 
  Vessel #2 sustained damage to the bow pulpit. 
  
  No injuries were reported.
