Large ships, in general, to help increase the supply of fresh water, have a means of making freshwater (distilling plant) with varying capacities. The advantage of ships using a distilling plant is that the purchase of freshwater can be reduced because additional water is obtained from the production of the distilling plant. After the researchers described several matters relating to the maintenance and function of the distilling plant in supporting the smooth operation of the ship, the conclusions of this study were 1) the occurrence of corrosion in the ejector system pipe, 2) the presence of salt deposits on the cement plate evaporator and the distilling plant must be maintained at a temperature of 35 °-45°C so that the risk of evaporation is small and foam and foam are not easily left on the side of the evaporator and 3) the lack of skill of the machinist in caring for the distilling plant onboard the ship is caused by the wrong recruitment of new machinists who do not understand distilling plant maintenance according to the manual.
