A ship running to shore at full speed has quite a lot of inertia. And then they winch it further. So pretty much only the end is dealing with tides.

  Ahhh, ok. So they ram it in and then winch it up closer to work on it. That makes sense. These things are huge and it would seem to take a bit of time to safely break them down.

    Safely?! Ha ha, unless you mean safe for the ship ...
