On ferry crossings i would eat a meal before getting on the vessel then sleep in the cab.
The negative points are a fire on board or if the vessel sinks or an ADR load leaks acid or gas.
The crew would have no idea is in his cab.But you get a good sleep.Can you honestly sleep for 6 odd hours with car alarms constantly going off in your ear holes?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
they only go off for 5 mins a cpl of times mostly as the boat leaves,then poss at the end of the loch,or entering the open sea.
once theyve dont that,its all quiet and a great kip.
i was on the birkenhead boat twice a week for 3 or 4 years and was upstairs a maximum 5 times.
same for the irish sea short boats,just go for a kip and wakeup when the gongs are going off as the front door lifts.
use your bottle for truckers tizer,and waken refreshed after a full nights sleep.
obviously these rules dont apply on the rotterdam hull boats in the summer when its mobbed with scantily clad ■■■■■ trumpets dancing all night,and you can only drag the trailer as far as the 1st petrol station to crash out again for another couple of hours…
