Yes, but the basic technique is (at least) decades old. To transit some of the tighter bends of the Panama canal, ships used the hydraulic effects between the ship and the bank to either pull closer to one side, or as a cushion to push the ship over so it could turn in a smaller radius.

I've never heard of squat being used to make it under a bridge, though. We were just taught that if you were heavily loaded and close to the channel bottom, increasing speed could be a bad idea.
