There is a lot going on.
Watching how the cabling from the ship to the engines on shore are played out and connected. Then tightened so as to keep the ship dead center. Our ship had one foot or less clearance on either side.
The disconnect process is also impressive.

It is a lot more than boat in and boat out.
