There are few problems I see with your script but the reason it won't move is Input.GetAxis("Vertical") doesn't return a boolean, it returns a float.

Presuming you want to move the ship if the vertical axis is positive, change your code to this:

 if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0 && ship_speed < max_speed)
      {
          ship_speed += 1;
          transform.Translate(Vector3.up * ship_speed);
      }

Now you'll probably find your ship moves way too fast. That's because you are moving it by huge amounts every frame. To take framerate into account you should use Time.deltaTime like this:

  if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0 && ship_speed < max_speed)
       {
           ship_speed += 1;
           transform.Translate(Vector3.up * ship_speed * Time.deltaTime);
       }
