Why aft trim is preffered in vessels entering drydocking?
I try to solve your problem : Why aft trim is preferred in vessel entering drydock? * We need stern part, normally stern frame or aft peak tank bhd normally at fr10 to touch the keel block first. * minimize ballast load. In lightship condition, the vessel is always trim by stern. So to make vessel in even condition, or trim by stem, require large ballast load, compare if we want to reduce trim by stern. Therefore reduce pressure on keel block and hull.
Free trim relevance to offshore vessels?
Most types of offshore support vessels with short and high fo'c'sles and long after decks are designed to operate with a significant trim by the head, but this is not always practical for vessels engaged in anchor handling, witch requires hauling and deploying of anchor moorings and buoys over the stern. These operations usually must be carried out quickly, particularly when the tug is supporting a rig or a moving platform that is being controlled by hauling in on its moorings. Consequently, the tugs are usually operated with a slight stern trim, even though this increases their exposure to danger of rapidly losing stability through the "free trim effect". Furthermore, the weight of the tow or chain acting at the tugs stern roller increases the stern trim, mean draft and KG, all of which reduce the vessels reserve stability, so the stern trim must be kept to the minimum necessary for carrying out the anchor handling operation. The attached figure 1 illustrate the "Free Trim Effect"

A "Trim Cruiser" in nautical terms referred to a sailing ship whose sails were "trimmed", i.e., rigged to get the most out of the available wind. With modern vessels, it's a reference to a ship that's getting the best headway/speed given her propulsion and the current ocean environment in which it's operating.

What does it mean for a ship to list?
A ship that lists is uneven due to bad trim, that is, it's uneven on its keel from front to back, or side to side (bow to stern, port to starboard). Normally, equalization of forward/aft, port/starboard water tanks are used to level the ship. However, uneven loading, or flooding can cause listing. Since flooding is always a possibility, watches must log the ship's list and draft every hour.
