Do they have sets of nav lights for each direction? I'd have said that port
and starboard are fixed with respect to the bow, but maybe craft like these
are exceptions.


Yes, there are two sets of running lights, two helm stations, etc. I
rode on such a ferry a few weeks ago, between Woods Hole and Vineyard
Haven.
