It's the way how the ship is built. The ship in the water is able to fully displace water equal to it own weight, so that the water exerts a greater upthrust on the ship, than the ship is able to exert on the water with its weight. The net upthrust results in the ship staying afloat.
If at any point the ship is not able to displace an amount of water equal to its weight, it will keep sinking until EITHER the ship finally displaces the right amount of water and begins to float OR the ship cannot displace enough water and becomes completely submerged, and sinks to the bottom of the body of water.

How far down into the water will a loaded ship sink?
A ship's draft, or how deep it sits in the water, is determined by factors like the ship's weight, buoyancy, and the density of the water. The deeper the draft, the lower the ship sits in the water. The ship will sink until it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which is known as the principle of buoyancy.
Why stone sink in water but ship does not?
A stone sinks in water because it is denser than water, causing it to displace the water it occupies and ultimately sink. A ship, on the other hand, is designed to have a shape that displaces enough water to create buoyancy, allowing it to float on the surface rather than sink.
What has no weight but is heavy enough to sink a ship?
A hole. A hole in the ship's hull can cause it to take on water and eventually sink, even though the hole itself has no weight.
Why a stone sink in water but a ship floats on water surface?
A stone sink in water because it is denser than water and displaces less water than its weight. A ship, on the other hand, is designed to displace a greater volume of water than its weight, allowing it to float on the water's surface. Additionally, the shape of a ship's hull and the air it contains also contribute to its buoyancy.
Why doesn't a ship sink to the bottom of the ocean answer with something about density?
It's buoyancy since the air in the bottom of the ship keeps it afloat. The air is lighter and less dense, so it does not sink into the water. The amount of air must be adequate to the boat's size. Bigger boats need more buoyancy.
Why bodies do not sink in the salty water?
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.
Why does'nt a ship sink in water?
A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.
Why will a ship of steel sink while a ship of air wont?
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.

What makes ship in the ship in the sea move?
water
What carries no weight but can sink a ship?
a hole.
Why filled cylinder with liquid gas sink in water but ship does not?
The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm
What makes a sink drip?
Answr: Water
What makes you sink when walking on water?
density
What is the term that means to sink a ship?
To purposely sink a ship is to 'scuttle' the ship.
