Yeah, but port and starboard are based on the locations of the bow and stern. What if the bow and stern are not fixed in location, like with a double-ended ferry?

Most Norwegian fjord and coastal ferries are double-ended vessels. Some ferries in Sydney, Australia and British Columbia are also double-ended. In 2008, BC Ferries launched three of the largest double-ended ferries in the world.

Which side is starboard?
