I must say that the only concern I've ever had on ferry crossings ( mainly Dover Calais) is to be sure my "neighbours" strap their bikes properly too !
I hang around and just watch what they do Just in case they haven't done it before............Then offer my advice and a piece of string if needed  Side stand / First gear / fix brake. Would be a bad start or finish to a trip if my bike gets dropped on by another
Saw one guy put his bright shiny bike away from all the others and strap it on centre stand all the while shouting some "vernacular street expletives " mainly about not wanting his mates bikes falling in his.
It was down on our return.
Had he not used so much foul stuff on a crowded deck maybe I may have suggested it was better another way. To remove the "tar effect" many others and myself were no doubt given, I helped a lady carry her bag up the stairs.
