    Ship motions are defined by the six degrees of freedom a ship can experience, including three linear motions (heave, sway, and surge) and three rotational motions (pitch, roll, and yaw). A ship's motions occur around its longitudinal, lateral, and vertical axes. Pitch is the up/down rotation around the lateral axis. Roll is the side-to-side tilting around the longitudinal axis. Yaw is the turning rotation around the vertical axis. Various stabilization methods can help reduce unwanted ship motions, including passive features like bilge keels or active devices like antiroll tanks and stabilizers.

    Ship motions

    Ship motions are defined by the six degrees of freedom that a ship, boat or any other craft can experience.

    Linear motion
    1)
    Heave is the linear vertical (up/down) motion; excessive
    downward heave can swamp a ship.
    2)
    Sway is the linear lateral (side-to-side or port-starboard)
    motion, which does not present much of a challenge for most modern
    ships.
    3)
    Surge is the linear longitudinal (front/back or bow/stern)
    motion imparted by maritime conditions.

    Rotation axes
    See also: Aircraft principal axes
    The vertical/Z axis, or yaw axis, is an imaginary line running vertically through the ship and through its centre of
    gravity. A yaw motion is a side-to side movement of the bow and stern of the ship.
    The lateral/Y axis, transverse axis, or pitch axis is an imaginary line running horizontally across the ship and
    through the centre of gravity. A pitch motion is an up-or-down movement of the bow and stern of the ship.
    The longitudinal/X axis, or roll axis, is an imaginary line running horizontally through the length of the ship,
    through its centre of gravity, and parallel to the waterline. A roll motion is a side-to-side or port-starboard tilting
    motion of the superstructure around this axis.

    Rotation motions
    For other uses, see Euler angles#Tait-Bryan angles. There are three
    special axes in any ship, called vertical, lateral and longitudinal axes.
    The movements around them are known as roll, pitch and yaw.
    1)
    Pitch is the up/down rotation of a vessel about its lateral/Y
    (side-to-side or port-starboard) axis. An offset or deviation from
    normal on this axis is referred to as 'trim' or 'out of trim'.
    2)
    Roll is the tilting rotation of a vessel about its
    longitudinal/X (front-back or bow-stern) axis. An offset or deviation
    from normal on this axis is referred to as list or heel. Heel refers to an offset that is intentional or expected, as
    caused by wind pressure on sails, turning, or other crew actions. List normally refers to an unintentional or
    unexpected offset, as caused by flooding, battle damage, shifting cargo, etc.
    3)
    Yaw is the turning rotation of a vessel about its vertical/Z axis. An offset or deviation from normal on
    this axis is referred to as deviation or set

    Stabilization
    There are methods for both passive and active motion stabilization used in some designs. They include static hull
    features such as skegs and bilge keels, or active mechanical devices like counterweights, antiroll tanks and
    stabilizers.
