RedactedNarrative: On Saturday July 30th 2022, I, Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police was on routine patrol, aboard vessel NRP851, in Baltimore City, in the Inner Harbor.
  
  While patrolling the area, dispatch notified me of a vessel accident that had just occurred at Anchorage Marina located at 2501 Boston Street, Baltimore Maryland, 21224, Pier 110.
  
  Upon arriving on scene, I made contact with a 39.5 foot in length, white catamaran, out of the Nederland, Colorado. The owner of the vessel and the original complainant was later identified.
  
  Subject1 informed me he was inside his vessel when he felt his catamaran shake and heard a loud bang. When Subject1 stepped outside, he witnessed a small black vessel on the port side of his hull and asked the persons operating the boat if he had just hit his vessel. When Subject1 looked on the port side of his catamaran and he noticed damage which appeared to be the size of a bow eye u bolt ring that matches the one on the front of the black vessel. He asked the operator, Operator2, of the vessel to exchange information. Operator2 tied his vessel to the dock and proceeded to call his boss. Operator2 was told by Subject2 to take the paying party who was aboard the vessel back to the dock and Subject2 will take care of the incident. (see witness statement attached.)
  
  Operator2’s boss informed me that he is the owner of the company. Operator2 called Subject2 around 1723 hours to inform him that he was being accused of hitting Subject1s vessel. Subject2 said he would handle the issues and arrived on scene, at Anchorage Marina about 15 mins after receiving the phone call. (see witness statement attached)
  
  I collected witness statements from both parties. I then took pictures of Subject1’s catamaran. After receiving the needed documents from Subject1, I took NRP851 over to where the business keeps their vessels.
  
  Once on scene, Subject2 took me to the vessel that was being operated at the time of the accused accident. I took pictures of an 18 foot in length, black Riopel vessel bearing DC registration. I was also introduced to the operator of the vessel Operator2 at this time as well and collected a witness statement from him. (see witness statement attached)
  
  After I finished up with both parties, I operated NRP851 back over to Subject1’s catamaran to get a better look of the damage from the level of my vessel. I docked along side of the catamaran and took some close-up pictures. After viewing the damage from up close, I could see what appears to be a black scuff mark rub rail paint transfer and a perfect impact print in the left side of the catamaran hull, identical to the shape and size of the eyelit from the black vessel. The measurement of the bow eye at water level on the Riopel was consistent with the water level damage on the vessel. Due to my training knowledge and experience I have reason to believe that the vessel did indeed strike Subject1’s catamaran head on causing the damage as shown in the pictures attached to this report.
  
  Investigation pending due to insurance companies review.
