- Because of the small righting moments the ship will only offer limited resistance to being rolled, causing the ship to be rolled to larger angles of heel. This will increase the risk of water being shipped on deck.
- The ship will be slow to return to the upright and will tend to remain at the extent of the roll for a comparatively long time. This will create greater and more prolonged strain on cargo lashings and increase the risk of cargo shift.
- Rolling to excessive angles of heel is also uncomfortable for the crew and injury may result.
