Default Securing your bike on a ferry

I've only been on a few.

In Newcastle - I got ratchet straps, in Hull - a piece of rope...

The Greeks, however have a completely different approach

nice soft landing if it falls over, well done to the Greeks. they probably thought 'that looks expensive, lets protect it'.

I'm just thinking about the hot exhaust and the not so for resistant bags...

Edit: good thing it has an underseat exhaust.
