Considering that's exactly what most people would do? Yes. Then again, Noctis' plan was fully to warp across to the ferry, shove as many crates as possible into Armiger and then warp back without getting himself killed. So, neither of them are probably very good at this being practical thing.

Still, he's currently one down, so he calculates his next move very carefully. The last one he had sent down had seemed to glide to the left, so he compensates by placing this one further to the right.

Of course it isn't far enough because it barely makes it half way before it goes flying into the water with a sharp groan from Noctis.
