This study discusses the history of Labuan Island from the aspects of trade, ports and shipping from 1846 to 1923. All of these aspects were important not only for the British to make a profit purely but also to see the importance of the island in the context of maritime history in Borneo. Beginning with the rise of trade activity, the development of maritime economies was influenced by the formation of a network of trade routes in the South China Sea. The study uses a qualitative research method that focuses on primary and secondary sources in obtaining the study materials. Based on historical records it is clear that the British had tried to exploit the economic resources of the island until it became a British colony in 1846. Although British economic policy was more focused on the land-based economy, trade, ports and shipping were also British priorities on the island.
