The invention provides a method for operating a marine vessel (1) comprising a plurality of propulsion units (106, 107, 108, 206, 207, 208), each being arranged to deliver thrust to water in which the vessel (1) is floating, the thrust delivery levels of the propulsion units (106, 7, 108, 206, 207, 208) being individually controllable, the method comprising controlling (S2) a first (106, 207) of the propulsion units so as to deliver a thrust in a direction (T106, T207) which has a component in a first direction (F) of the vessel, simultaneously controlling (S2) a second (107, 208) of the propulsion units so as to deliver less thrust than the first propulsion unit (106, 207), and subsequently increasing (S4) the thrust delivered by the 10 second propulsion unit (107, 208) in a direction (T107, T208) which has a component in the first direction (F), the method further comprising simultaneously with increasing the thrust delivered by the second propulsion unit (107, 208) decreasing (S5) the thrust delivered by the first propulsion unit (106, 207).
