Any watercraft should ride level and straight up in the water. Under loads set balanced in the cargo holding areas, the ship should still ride level and even, thats straight up. A load that breaks loose or a water leak could have the extra weight accumulate in places that might make it lean to one side and eventually throw the ship to a really noticable lean...and the sailors would say she is "LISTING". A Port List would mean a lean to the left--a starboard list is a lean to the right. Down by the stern is a boat leaning back and Down by the bow means the leaning to the front. A LIST can get so bad the boat can roll over completely.

Jacob W has the correct terminology of listing. But it could also mean that the vessel is listed under a vessel classification society such as Janes or American Bureau of Shipping.

Listing means leaning to one side. If the right side is riding lower you have a starboard list. It the left side is riding lower you have a list to port. Sailboats operate this way. But power boats do not. If a boat or ship is listing it is out of balance. This makes it susceptible to rolling over or capsizing.

A listing vessel or ship is listing if it is "leaning" to one side or the other. Usually caused by cargo being unevenly loaded.

List is when the center line of a ship is not vertical because of off-center weights.
A ship is said to be listing when it is heeled (tipped) to one side.
"List" refer to the uneven side to side floating of a ship while "trim" refers to the uneven fore and aft (bow to stern) floating of a ship.

when a ship is listing it means that the ship is leaning either port or starboard, (left or right).

Its a yacht brokers thing. Actually it means "item for sale" and if you want to buy it you should contact yacht broker.
