The aircraft is BBC, a 777-200LR.
There was no guidance available for docking in CPT, so the marshaller led the aircraft in....
Unfortunately he thought it was a -300ER, which is some 10 mtrs longer, and so the pilots hit the loading bridge with left engine while taxying in....

So it's not 100% captain A. fault, though a small doubt may certainly arise if you are familiare with the parking procedures in CPT.
