It can't completely. The only locking is through the immobiliser (or battery disconnection) however you can disable the interior sensors which are what are likely to make the alarm go off. This in the Meta 99T manual;
PARTIAL ARMING : Pressing the hand held transmitter for up to four seconds, whilst your system is in the
disarmed condition, will partially arm the system. 3 flashes of the hazard light circuit, the locking of the vehicle
central door locking system and the LED flashing confirm this. The system is now armed as above with the
exception that the internal movement sensor has been deactivated.

Things to watch with ferries.
If there's a ramp to get onto them. Or even the ramp onto the ferry, watch out for the changes in up down direction. Think V or ^ shapes. I've clouted underneath mine a couple of times, once making my wife get out whilst I inched it over the ramp, which didn't go down well.
Next is handbrake. Watch where it's parked, if needed ask for a couple of chocks and chock front and rear, as the handbrake is minimal.
Lastly, just don't leave any valuables visible and don't bother locking. It'll be assumed it is and it'll stop any alarm going off.
Other than that, don't forget to 'warm' the engine before leaving the ferry. It makes a lovely noise. We did have fun on the tips to the Isle of Man with a few TVRs 'warming their engines'. Always good to spot the cars with alarms on

How have you found the ramps on the Isle of Man boats? I am over there at least once a year and often wondered about taking the Cerb. ??? just not sure about the clearance.If there's a ramp to get onto them.

Liverpool and the other port further north are fine provided the ramp isn't steep. I did have to get my missus to get out to raise the car. I've scraped over one, didn't have an issue at Liverpool.Sandy

We've been over a couple times with Cerbs and a Sag, never been a problem, certainly no worse than cross channel ferries
Not strictly true when were rushing fo rthe alternative ship and someone goes a little fast past a copper...can't think who got there first
