Hi guys,

Granted it tends to list to port, and has been, on occasion (Has been what? This sentence is unfinished.)

The ship moves left while underway.



'List' just means to lean.

This would happen, for example, if the ship were a lot heavier on the left side.

It does not necessarily mean that the ship is moving forward.
