loll

The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea | 2006 | Â© The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea 2006, originally published by Oxford University Press 2006. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

loll, a term used to describe the state of a ship which is unstable when upright and as a result floats at an angle of heel on one side or the other. It is usually caused by a large area of free-surface water inside the hull, as for instance a ship with flooded compartments, but can also be caused by too much weight carried high up in the ship. It is not the same as list, which is caused by quite different conditions. Loll in a ship can be reduced by removing top weight, adding to bottom weight, or by reducing the area, and particularly the width, of the free-surface water in the ship.
