Will ships float lower or higher in tropical waters?

Ships will float higher in tropical waters because as the density of a fluid decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature.
