Gate valves are crucial components in a ship's fluid control system, playing an essential role in ensuring operational safety and efficiency. As an integral part of this system, gate valve manifolds require optimal maintenance to ensure maximum performance and minimize the risk of damage. This research aims to understand the maintenance process of gate valve manifolds and their function during cargo loading and unloading operations. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing observation, literature review, and documentation study to collect data, with data triangulation used to validate the information. The results indicate that insufficient maintenance of gate valve manifolds leads to issues in opening and closing, causing delays in the loading and unloading process. The main factors contributing to the damage are a lack of maintenance by the crew and external factors. Therefore, the ship's crew plays a vital role in maintaining the gate valve manifold in optimal working condition.
