I have noticed quite a few people using their hazard warning lights when moving around between the queueing and loading areas at the port.
Is this what the "Professionals" or "Regulars" do, a bit like Hi-Vis for cars? Should we all be doing the same, is it another H & S thing?

Its the drivers who have paid extra for 'Prioritie disembarkation' ie being parked at front to get off first. You do have a special label in your windscreen as well.

We have our hazards on, that is because oh half is disabled and needs to be near a lift on the ferry. He has a A sticker which is put on the windscreen.------------- 2013.

I think on P&O their booking info tells you that you should have your hazards on. It is often used for either priority or disabled loading - depends on the carrier. ------------- Piglet

As stated, its to mark you out for attention by the loading crew for a particular reason.
To answer the op's question, don't put your hazards on unless instructed to at some point.

Thanks all,
To be honest I forgot that I posted this question, been over in Ireland working. Stena Line use tickets that attach to the mirror like Brittany Ferries but I suppose its difficult to see them at night hence the hazards. It all makes perfect sense.

Even the Isle of Wight ferry uses this system! There was a disabled driver sat all alone in his own lane with his hazards going and they did come and load him first.
