You have to request 'below deck storage'. I think there is a reduced rate for above deck, which voids insurance.
Buy insurance and ask for below deck storage and you will be covered. That way if the container is put above deck it's not your problem.
The captain is allowed to jettison boxes above the deck in an emergency, so it is not a preferred location.
I have shipped forty or so containers to and from England in the last ten years without incident. It is unlikely you will have a problem.
