Misleading, as stationary ship may be? (5,2)

I believe the answer is:

lying to

This clue is a double definition.

'misleading' is the first definition.
(lying to someone is misleading them)

'as stationary ship may be?' is the second definition.
(a ship that's lying to has stopped moving)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
