That's the stern. The keel is under water, and the starboard side is the right-hand side when you are facing forward on the water craft.

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.

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.
