They have desalination equipment. Desalination can be done in several ways -- distillation, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and others.
I'm not sure if it still is but not long ago ships used multiple stage flash distilling units. Seawater is heated to about 170 degrees F and sprayed into a chamber that's at a vacuum. Some of the water flashes into vapor and is collected as distilled water, the remaining, now saltier, water is pumped to the next stage and the process repeated.
