If your vessel strikes an unattended vessel what must you do?

If your vessel strikes an unattended vessel, you must first ensure the safety of all individuals on board your vessel and check for any injuries. Next, make every effort to identify the unattended vessel and its owner, and if possible, try to secure the scene. You should report the incident to the appropriate authorities, such as the Coast Guard or local maritime agency, and provide them with all necessary details. Finally, document the incident, including photographs and witness statements, for insurance and legal purposes.
