If you are leaving a dock, slip or tie-up mooring, you must give way to all approaching vessels.

You're right, that is a stretch in this situation. I wondered about that statement myself when it was posted it but I didn't have a chance to look it up to see what rule you were quoting.
Given the diagram SteveA posted I am confused why anyone would say Steve turning to port would be correct?
Perhaps I don't have a grasp on the distances involved but it seems that turning to port would have put him on a headon collision course with the Marine Patrol boat.
