Navy ships and Cruse ships have the bridge at the front as they have a large superstructure.
Cargo vessels don't have a large superstructure, so the bridge is at the back also providing constant observation of the cargo.
Ferries with short crossings some times have the bridge in the middle of the ship so they don't have to keep turning around wasting time and fuel.
Hope this helps.
