I love the headline, "Slams into Vancover Yacht club". then the story starts talking about how the crew slowed it down and it just "eased" into the yacht club and piers.
Hopefully, they will not find any casualties as the work continues.

Actually the captain is being applauded for heading for the shore instead of craching into the dock where hundreds of passengers awaited boarding. Miraculously no-one was hurt.

I have been on this ferry. It's difficult to see from those photos, but this satellite photo shows the layout of the marina. The ferry missed the dock, on the right, and the large dock, on the left, and instead managed to navigate into the smaller dock in the south.
