they prevent rusting of iron (ship body) by acting as sacrificial metal as they are more reactive than iron, meaning the magnesium will rust instead of the iron

magnesium is a sacrificing anode and it undergoes corrosion but it saves the life of the steel or iron of the ship hull so magnesium is used in ship bottoms
