A ship dips to a larger depth in fresh water as compared to marine water?what does it happen?

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.

A Plimsoll line is a line drawn on the hull of a ship, which signifies the amount of weight that the vessel can take without sinking. It is calibrated based on different values such as the cargo which the ship is carrying, type of water in which the ship is sailing etc.
Marine water has a large salt content unlike fresh water. This affects the density of the water in oceans and lakes. Since a boat can float only if its own density is less than the density of the surrounding water, it is understood that the ship will dip more in fresh water than saline marine water.
