This study describes a concept of the sustainable development of the ferry services for integrating the inter-small islands connectivity addressed to the North Kalimantan. Several systematically stages that involve reviewing the transportation policy and spatial plan, analysing the potential area, demand, and capacity of the ferry services, surveying the hydro-oceanography characteristics, determining the conceptual design of passenger ferry, and evaluating the waterfront facilities of port were carried out. The capacity of the ferry services was divided into three scenarios based on the development plan that are short, medium, and long terms. The capacity of the ferry services simultaneously with the deck plan for the short term of the development plan was analysing to obtain the conceptual ferry design in each route of the ferry services. The quay length of the existing ports of Juata Laut, Ancam, Sei Jepun, and Liang Bunyu must be fulfilled the requirements to anticipate the implementation of the development plan.
