This entirely depends on the size of the ship. The larger the ship, the more it can carry. Care also has to be given to the design of the ship. If too much weight is stored too high the ship can lose its stability and roll over in a storm.

First thing: Container ships' capacity isn't specified in weight, but in "TEUs." It means "20-feet Equivalent Units" and refers to the number of containers the ship can carry. A TEU is equal to one 20-foot, standard-height (or "standard cube") shipping container. With the exception of cars and trucks, all freight is shipped containerized. A container can only weigh a certain amount, and a ship is designed to support the maximum load in all the containers it can carry.
As to how much a ship can carry...as I said, it depends on the ship. The Maersk A-class ships can carry a little under 1100 TEUs. I think all these ships have been retired. The new Maersk Triple-E class ships can carry 18,000 TEUs.

What is cargo worthiness?
Cargo is any commodity that earns freight and charter hire to ship. Transporting cargo is ship's business. Can any ship carry any cargo? NO. Ship must be suitable and fit enough to carry any particular cargo. This ability of ship is the cargoworthiness. 4 segments in carriage by ship: load the cargo, stow the cargo, preserve the cargo condition and no damage/harm to ship till handing over to receiving port, unload the cargo. Ship's ability to meet the rigors of each of these segments must be demonstrated before cargo is given to a ship. Thus the cargoworthiness of the ship will be established.
