Sorry but a good point was made here.
Having a tug could likely have prevented this problem or at least have limited the damage. It might not stop a container ship but could likely have deflected it enough.
Make the container companies pay for the cost for escort beyond infrastructure or have them ready around infrastructure.
We can not assess the viabilty of every ship coming into this country as most are registered to countries with no responsibility.
