Because of buoyancy. Even though the steel of the ship weighs a lot more then water, the ship also has a lot of air in it (the ship is not a solid chuck of steel), the lightness of the air off sets the heaviness of the steel to allow it to float.

Why ship does not sink on sea?
A ship is designed so that the hull encloses a large amount of air. So, even if the hull is built from a very dense material, the average density of the ship includes that of the air that it contains, and is therefore less than the density of water. That is why a ship does not sink at sea. +++ More succinctly, a buoyant body is so because it weighs less than the water it displaces.
