As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.

But steel is heavier than water

Ah, but boats aren't solid steel! It has lots of hollow spaces inside, making the volume up displaced water bigger, without increasing the weight!

If you take 1kg of steel and 1kg of water, which is heavier? That's right, steel is heavier.
