Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?

The ship will float lower. Even though the foam balls are lighter than water they are still heavier than the air they replace in the ship's hold making the ship heavier than an empty one.

What does mean in chemical tankers one foot sample?
Foot Sample When chemical carriers load high value and very pure products, they will commence loading until about one foot of cargo is in the bottom of the tank, then stop. They will take a sample this cargo, known as the foot sample up the facility's lab for analysis to see if during the loading of this one foot of cargo there was any contamination. If not, they will resume loading the tank until completion. If contamination is present in the foot sample they will try to determine the source, while they pump the now off spec cargo to the shore, and start over again, It is hoped that the amount loaded during the foot of cargo is enough to clean the contamination from the tank and piping. This is done to prevent the entire tank being loaded and then contaminated thereby requiring the full cargo to be reprocessed.
Is mass a scaler?
Yes. -- The sum of 2 kg plus another 2 kg is always 4 kg, no matter which way the little ones are pointing. -- There's no way to combine 2 kg and another 2 kg so as to wind up with zero mass. (If there were, then they would always be carefully loaded onto cargo carriers that way.)
What is kerb weight of vehicle?
Kerb (Curb) weight is the total weight of an automobile with standard equipment, oil, lubricants, coolant, a full tank of fuel and not loaded with either passengers or cargo. This definition may differ from definitions used by governmental regulatory agencies. Additionally, organizations may define curb weight with fixed levels of fuel and other variables to equalize the value for the comparison of different vehicles. It is generally provided as a statistic about automobile weights, along with gross weight, which represents the weight of an automobile when fully loaded. The difference between gross weight and curb weight is the total passenger and cargo weight capacity of the vehicle. [NOTE: Answer from multiple sources found through Internet search engines.]
What would you use to weigh a ship?
The boat maker supports you with the actual gross weight of the ship . then calculations of the cargo + fuel are determined .
Example of objects that float in water?

How would a captain know he was carrying to much cargo?
there is a line on the side of the ship, as the cargo is loaded the ship sinks deeper into the water, when the the reaches the water, they must stop loading. That is the low tech method, nowadays with computers, shipping companies know down to the pound what has been loaded onto the ship. The computers are even smart enough to load containers that will be need first onto the top so they can be unloaded easier.

What thewhite line is called on the side of a ship?
The lines drawn around the hull of a ship near the water-line is called a "Plimsoll line". This horizontal line is easily seen when the ship is empty and therefore riding higher out of the water. The more cargo loaded into ship the deeper it sinks into the water, and a ship can only be loaded with cargo etc down to this line and no furthur. Before its introduction there was no safe-loading-line on a vessel to prevent overloading by unscrupulous owners.
