Abstract: The study is intended to propose a concept of ferry design that would cater all aspects of safety for its operation. The study is motivated by the challenge of so, many ship accidents occurred on Indonesian waters, crossing ferries in particular which in some cases involving a great number of human lives. Available accident data are used to identify the types and sources of accidents, continued by identifying the potential hazards and then risks analysis was conducted to obtain the risk level of each potential hazard. Results of the risks analysis are used as the basis for proposing the concept of ship design. The design will include: the characteristics of the operational environment of the ferry, the involvement of human factors and the functionality of the ship in relation to the safety aspects. It is projected that by implementing design for safety concept ferries accidents in Indonesia could be minimized.
