Wayne, do they even use tugs for that anymore? Or is it all done by bow thrusters?

The trend seems to be that ferrys and cruise ships are using
thrusters, both bow and stern. They do a lot of docking and undocking
so avoiding tug boats saves a lot of money. Cargo ships and large
military vessels are still using tugs for the most part.
