The water of the Dead Sea is unusually salty (even for a sea) and hence, it is also unusually dense.

A ship floats on the sea due to the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship, allowing it to float. This is because the density of the ship is lower than the density of water.

When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?

If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
