There is a channel you need to follow to get out of that dock, it veers off to the right.  Zoom in on your chart and use that to guide your ship out.  It's a fun part of the mission actually because your trying to guide through something you can't see using a only a chart.

I'm having trouble too, with one of the add on missions. I get the container ship safely to the dock, moor it then it keeps hitting the quay causing environmental damage! All I've done is play the game! What on Earth is happening? Please!

It's an annoying bug with the mooring ropes, and there is no remedy for it.  The ropes are more like bungies and pull your ship into the wall again and again.  The best thing you can do is get your ship as close along side as possible.

That´s a bug - no more, no less! Should be fixed with the latest patch, but it wasn´t for 100 %...
