Stepped ashore from

Consider the following sentence:



"He stepped ashore from the 'Sucre'."



(The 'Sucre' is the name of a ship.)



So, my question is:


What does 'step ashore from' mean?


Is it to'board the ship' or the opposite?




Note: My confusion is that 'to step ashore' sounds like 'boarding a ship', but 'from' sounds the opposite.
