Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?

A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..


Compared with an empty ship would a ship loaded with cargo of foam insulation sink deeper into water or rise in water?

A ship that weighs 1,000 pounds displaces 1,000 pounds of water. Basically you are making a hole in the water that would take 1,000 pounds of water to fill, if it was Jell-o you could see the hole when you took the ship out. If you add 100 pounds of weight to the ship, be it feathers, foam, or lead, it will sink deeper and displace 100 more pounds of water.

The ship will float lower. Even though the foam balls are lighter than water they are still heavier than the air they replace in the ship's hold making the ship heavier than an empty one.


What is the difference between a fully loaded oil tanker floating and an empty oil tanker floating?

The main difference is weight of course. When fully loaded, the ships airdraft is considerably reduced, as you can definitely see the ship is more 'in the water', or more immersed. When not loaded, or 'In ballast', the ship has several ballast tanks which are filled up with sea water in order to weigh the ship down a little, so as for it to not capsize with strong winds/rogue waves. And a ship's hull/bulbous bow, etc.. are designed to operate/navigate within a certain Loadline, hence the need to keep the ship immersed within certain parameters.

Why will a ship of steel sink while a ship of air wont?

It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
