What are the corrective actions for angle of loll and list?

The following procedures should be carefully observed taken:
  1. Alter course to put the ship’s head into the predominant waves.

(If the ship is in a lolled situation it is essential that the ship stays lolled to the same side. Wave action may cause the ship to roll through the vertical to loll on the other side. This is a dangerous situation since the ship will heel from the vertical of it’s own accord and the momentum it will have in lolling over to the other side may be sufficient to capsize it. In any event, the ship will initially heel beyond the angle of loll before settling at the angle of loll whereby cargo shift may result, which will worsen the situation further.)
