Wait, it hit the wharf after it left port? How do you even manage that?

Wellington Harbourmaster Grant Nalder said the ferry departed about 8.15 on Wednesday and hit the southern end of Glasgow wharf.
The wharf extends some way away from land. They just messed up and clipped the end of the wharf that sticks out into the harbour as the were leaving.
It sounds like they clipped it with the tail of the boat on the way out. It's directly across from their berth.
Yikes
Why do I get the impression the harbour master and captain are during around smoking cigars and pissing themselves laughing about it?
Obviously this is more imagination than fact
I don't think anyone involved in this will be laughing right now, to be honest.
