A ship sinks until it has displaced its own weight of water. That is why we refer to the ‘displacement’ of a vessel.
So for your question - the denser the water, the higher the ship will ride.
That is why the Plimsoll marker has differing marks, e.g. for ‘Winter North Atlantic’, since both salinity & temperature affect the density of water.

The answer for your question is the density of the water.
Marine water is more denser than the fresh water because of its salinity.
A common theory about floating is an object must have to displace its weight of what it floating in. Salt water is denser than compare to the fresh water.
Because of the density of the salt water the ship won't sink so deep as it only displace a small amount of water.
The ship do float on the fresh water by displacing more water as the fresh water is less denser.
