Capacity constraint of port for Ferry Port Class I is not clearly stated in the Indonesian National Order of Port Affairs. It only said that ferry ship to be serviced is ships with more than 1000 gross tonnages (GTs). The word more than 1000 GTs is unclear as there are ships with up to 12500 GTs to be serviced in this port. This research introduces cluster of Ferry Port Class I. Ship main dimension and tonnage of sample ships is being used as a basis for the port clustering. The result shows that Ferry Port Class I should be divided into three main Ferry Port Classes I (Class IA, Class IB and Class IC). This new cluster of Ferry Port Class I can be used as a reference in updating the rules regarding ferry port class and as a reference in the design of ferry port main facilities.
