The reason for ships float in water is buoyancy force.
Buoyancy force is calculated as follows
Volume of water displaced × density of water × acceleration due to gravity
Thus, Buoyancy force is directly proportional to the density of water
Since Marine water (due to salt content) has more density than fresh water, Buoyancy force (up lift) is greater in Marine water. So, ships float more in Marine water.
In other words, ships dips more in fresh water due to less buoyancy force.

Q. A ship dips to a larger depth in fresh water as compared to marine water
Answer:
A ship dips to a larger depth in fresh water as compared to marine water because;
The buoyant force acting on a body is proportional to its density of the fluild in which body is immersed . The density of marine water is more than density of fresh water. Hence, the buoyant force on the body in freshwater is less than that of marine water.
Therefore,A ship dips to a larger depth in fresh water as compared to marine water
