Usage notes

Translation given in HolQeD-11-2 is jer surge, however that article seems to suggest that the word works similarly to ron be banking, be rolling, and is therefore translated as be heaving here. One would probably say jer Duj the vessel is surging, and Duj jermoH 'orwI' the pilot makes the vessel surge.
