RedactedNarrative: On 07/20/2021 approximately 1505 hours Maryland Natural Resources Police responded to a restaurant in Ocean City, Maryland for a two-vessel collision at the docks.
  Upon arrival, I met with both parties involved who identified themselves as OPERATOR 1 and OWNER 2. OWNER 2 is the owner of a 2008 28 foot Everglades center console fishing vessel that displayed Maryland registration “MD 1242 BZ” and OPERATOR 1 was operating a vessel owned by the Ocean City Boat Club LLC and it displayed Delaware registration “DL 2405 AN” The vessel OPERATOR 1 was operating was a 2021 23 foot Berkshire pontoon.
  OPERATOR 1 stated he was attempting to dock his vessel beside OWNER 2’ vessel at Harborside Bar and Grill when he struck the port side near the stern of OWNER 2’ vessel. There was a large hole in the fiberglass finish and stress cracks around the hole of OWNER 2 vessel. OPERATOR 1 stated this was only his second or third time operating this vessel. OPERATOR 1’s vessel had a large piece of fiberglass stuck in the front starboard pontoon winch hook. There didn’t appear to be any damage to OPERATOR 1's vessel.
  I spoke with OWNER 2 and he stated he and his wife were sitting at a table on the dock when he observed OPERATOR 1 attempting to dock his pontoon vessel next to his. OWNER 2 said he saw OPERATOR 1 having difficulty attempting to dock his vessel, then heard the motor accelerate and what sounded like an impact. OWNER 2 stated he went to check on his vessel and saw the large hole in the fiberglass where OPERATOR 1 hit his vessel. OWNER 2 stated his vessel wasn’t occupied at the time.
  I collected all of the information needed from both parties and provided them both with my contact information and NRP case number for them to reference. Pictures of the damage were taken on location of the accident. OWNER 2 stated he would have an estimate for the repairs completed as soon as possible and he would forward me pictures and the estimate when it was completed.
  On 07/27/2021, OWNER 2 sent me the first repair estimate which totaled $9,189.00, and pictures from the repair company. That information has been attached to the report. OWNER 2 also stated he is waiting for a second estimate and will forward that to me when it is completed.
  Cleared without further incident.
  All the above events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland.
