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.

Why can a ship not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine?
The heat engine can convert internal energy of sea water if there is a sink at temperature lower than temperature of sea water. Since there is no such sink and hence a ship can not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine.
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.
Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?
