Hi Ali,
No, the bow visor lifts up to reveal a pair of water-tight doors which open onto the main car/lorry deck. The linkspan ramp at the port would drop down and the 'fingers' of the ramp would rest on the flat edge of the car deck, in the opening.
At the stern, the flat door (seen in the 1st picture - of FE IV) is hinged along it's top edge and was raised horizontal to form a 'link ramp' from the upper car deck of the ship to the linkspan ramp of the port. Raising this door created an opening onto the main lorry deck below and, just like the bow arrangement, the linkspan 'fingers' would drop down and rest on the edge of the deck.
This was the arrangement when they used Dover, Zeebrugge and Calais. When FEV was sold out to the Albania / Italy trade, she had an external stern ramp fitted and retained her stern door, but no longer used the upper car deck. She also no longer used the bow doors. There are no linkspan arrangements in the mediterranian / Greek ports, so all ex-Dover Straits ferrys sold into Med service have to have ramps fitted to link with the quay's - usually very ugly fitments which do nothing for the looks of the vessels............
