I added some boats from SH3 to SH4 ,This stuation has taken place.

Could have something to do with the fact that the boats you added are from SH3. A screen shot of what you are talking about will help in addressing the problem as well.

I would bet that your ship has no textures.

Like ETR3 (SS) says, "the fact thats the boats you added the are from SH3" may well be a plausible explanation

I agree with Karle94, looks like you are missing the textures.

Ships in SH4 do not just have skin (texture) but also have normals and occlusion maps. If you didn't add any, you will get weird effects like this one.

A missing texture would most likely cause a flat black ship in the parts where the texture is missing, in this case you have probably no (or wrong) AO maps.
