Because of a total power failure beyond his control?

Not saying that couldn't happen, but there are quite a number of ships that crash in the world's busiest port. One such crash was a ship carying 22,000 tons of sand crashed straight into the Warf

That guy that ran away didn't run far enough.

Tugboats assistance is mandatory at some ports in the world. The tug eases the maneuvering operation of vessels by towing or pushing vessels towards the port. Tugboat services fees are faaaaar less that paying for damaged port.

He manuevered it perfectly so that the crane that fell did not damage his ship.
