They have desalination equipment. Desalination can be done in several ways -- distillation, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and others.
I'm not sure if it still is but not long ago ships used multiple stage flash distilling units. Seawater is heated to about 170 degrees F and sprayed into a chamber that's at a vacuum. Some of the water flashes into vapor and is collected as distilled water, the remaining, now saltier, water is pumped to the next stage and the process repeated.

Why do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to freeboard?
It is because the fresh water has less density compared to that of salt water.
Why do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to?
Ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water because fresh water is less dense than salt water. This means that a ship will displace less water in fresh water compared to salt water, leading to less buoyancy and a higher likelihood of sinking. Additionally, fresh water lacks the buoyant force provided by dissolved salts in salt water.
Why was water important on ships?
Humans cam survive for about 3 days with out fresh water. Fresh water is brought on ships for this reason because distilling salt water on a ship is difficult.
How do you mix fresh water to make salt water?
just add salt to fresh water
What does make a egg foat salt water or fresh water?
salt water!:)
How do salt water toilets work on boats and ships?
Salt water toilets on boats and ships use seawater to flush waste instead of fresh water. The seawater is pumped into the toilet bowl to flush away waste, which then gets discharged overboard. This system helps conserve fresh water on the vessel.
How do you make brackish water?
Mix fresh water and salt water
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships will float in fresh water as long as their density is lower than that of the water they displace. This is due to Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Why do ships float higher on sea water than in fresh water?
Because the the sea water contains salt, which increases the density of the water. Therefore, the ships becomes even less dense than the water, making it float higher.
Contrast salt water and fresh water?
Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
Why does salt water make stuff float than fresh water?
Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. So the same object will foat higher in salt water than in fresh, and some things will foat in salt water that are too dense to float in fresh water.
Dose a swimmer float better in fresh salt water or non fresh salt water?
on fresh salt water
