Default Woolwich Ferry magnetic docking system

Apparently docking and undocking is slower than it used to be. I'm not
sure I understand what problem the new system is designed to solve,
unless it is now possible for the ferry to keep running in high winds
that would have closed the old one - but if that's the case, why don't
they only use the magnets when the winds are high, instead of slowing
down normal operation?
