A boat loaded with too much cargo sinks because it exceeds its buoyancy capacity. When the weight of the cargo surpasses the boat's ability to displace enough water to stay afloat, it becomes unstable and submerges. Additionally, excessive weight can affect the boat's balance, leading to capsizing. Ultimately, the principles of buoyancy and weight dictate that every vessel has a maximum load it can safely carry.

When does boat start sinking in water?
A boat will sink if there is a hole in the hull below the water level. Or, if too much cargo is loaded, sinking the boat (ship) so low in the water that it either capsizes, or the water cascades inboard over the sides of the boat.
If a boat is sinking because it has to much cargo How does density compare to the density of water?
If a boat with too much cargo is sinking, it means the combined density of the boat and cargo is greater than the density of water. Water has a density of 1 g/cm^3, so anything with a greater density will sink. To stay afloat, an object must have a density less than that of water.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
When the boat is fully loaded it floats lower in the water than when it is empty?
As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.

As in 'sink a boat' or 'the kitchen sink'?
How do cargo ships have volume?
Cargo ships are displacement vessels. When you put a displacement boat in the water, it sinks until the weight of the boat exactly equals the weight of the water that it displaces. They stay above the surface because the entire vessel weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. Now if we start adding cargo, it will sink. If you add 10 tons of cargo, then 10 tons of water is displaced. There are marks on the side of the ship called "load lines" to tell the master the maximum amount that the boat can safely sink but still be seaworthy. Since density is mass divided by volume, if we know the volume of water that the hull can displace, and if we know the density of that water, we can calculate the maximum combined mass of cargo and ship. By subtracting the mass of the ship, we can get the maximum mass of cargo. Mass is what really matters. 100 tonnes of lead or 100 tonnes of helium will still make the boat sink the same amount. There are also concerns with stacking too much volume on deck, even if the boat can handle the weight. Visibility can be impaired. You will increase windage (wind resistance, particularly concerning with cross-winds.) You could also raise the center of gravity too high which results in reduced stability (the boat will be easier to capsize.) Ratings agencies that assign load lines also use these considerations when establishing the vessel's tonnage (maximum cargo capacity) of the cargo vessel.
