As a master mariner and a pilot I can only say that this is a well executed manoeuver. Contrary to what most people think, ships with a conventional screw/propeller cannot be steered while going astern. The only way to maintain heading is to give kicks ahead to correct. Exactly what this guy was doing and very well, I might add.

Most boats have a tendency to turn to one side or the other when you go into reverse. It's cause by the 'paddle wheel' effect of the propeller. If you get up a bit of speed the rudder becomes more effective.

Pleased to see these guys took it steady and got where they wanted without upsetting anyone or hitting anything!

this is most likely a single screw inboard, much harder to steer in reverse as opposed to a stern drive, outboard, or twin screw inboards.

Captain Schettino at the helm. Oh wait -- it can't be. He didn't hit rocks and then run away.

Good job countering the prop walk in reverse.
