I'd say neither, looks more like the beginnings of a "ferry".

The ship/s in the videos; Does the bow open to allow vehicle departure, or do the vehicles back out the Stern ? I ask, because, typically ferries are "drive through".

I couldn't make out the "usual hinges" that bow doors would have, and I couldn't see any line to indicate a "break" in the hull sides where doors would "fit in".
