Geographically Kalimantan island has so many wide rivers, and the rivers have played important role on economics and trade as a means of transportation of natural resources. The coal resource reaches 31.6% of the Indonesian overall source of about 36.3 billion tons. The coal demand for local and export has increased annually. This increase in coal production has finally affected the demand in transportation system, especially for river transportation system. However transportation system on the river has its own problems. Therefore improvement on the transportation system requires considerations in some aspects due to river conditions. A pusher barge system is recommended in this study to overcome these constraints through its distinct features such as good maneuver at curved river and seaworthiness in open sea.
