Depends on why the ship sank and under what circumstances. The simple answer to the question is ALMOST always the responsibility falls on the Master (Capt., Skipper)of the vessel.

One thing I know is that if it hits an ice berg and sinks it won't be getting there any time soon
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.
Ultraoversimplifying it, the coin is solid metal all the way through and weighs more than its volume of water, the ship has a large space filled with air inside it resulting in the weight of the ship and cargo being less than the weight of the volume of water it occupies.This is called buoyancy: the coin has negative buoyancy and sinks, the ship has positive buoyancy and floats.

The number of stops a cargo ship will make depends on how much cargo the ship has and how many places it has to deliver cargo.
