Narrative:
The crew was following the marshalling instructions as issued by the marshaller. The taxi speed was slow. Clearance was not verified and the left winglet of the accident airplane impacted the right wing of another Beech 1900D. The captain shut down the engines and the passengers were deplaned without further incident.

Probable Cause: the ground personnel's failure to maintain aircraft clearance, resulting in the collision. Contributing factors include ground communications not coordinated by the ground personnel, the flight crew's inadequate visual outlook and the parked airplane.
