These problems include a persistent list to starboard and the fact that the ship is dramatically overweight, <<

Ships are female, most women are (ahem), heavier on one side, so accept it, its natural!

If you have to fix the problem, the solution is something like this; Secure one end of 10 yards of shoreline somewhere along the port side railing, tie an anchor or two to the shoreline, drop it overboard. Adjust the length of the shoreline until the ship rolls back toward port and even keel. I am sure this will work fairly well up to the time they get underway. Cant help them after that (Take some life preservers and remember the lessons of the Vasa!)
