Well - it's amazing how many helmsmen still manage to make a "horlicks" of it. On this occasion, admittedly, there was very little wind and what there was was blowing onto the port side of the boat (and therefore tending to blow the Trader away from the pontoon) - but obviously the twin screws and the thrusters make it easier - provided, that is, that you know what you're doing with them.
