I think Colin has a point

Are we caught in a dilemma? If we let the ferries control the stowage of our bikes then we run the risk of some loons making a mess of it. Similarly, can we trust the biker beside us to do a good job?
Were Stena more liable because they had tied down my husbands bike insufficiently or were they less liable because they tried?

Quote:
I have used the simple rule that to fall over the bike whilst on the centre stand or the side stand must go forward first. Therefore I tie the rear wheel to a point behind it and a ratchet strap over the seat.

The bike can now neither go forward or back
With a twist of the strapping the bike can still go up as a ferry crests on a swell.
