Improvement of transportation systems in isolated-island routes is one of the most important factors in various island problems. To solve these problems, fast and convenient transportation systems between an island and a mainland are requested. Recently new types of ships like a fast passenger car ferry has been developed, and feasibility studies on such advanced ships are needed. A method for feasibility assessment of an advanced ship was proposed on the bases of a demand prediction method using a generalized cost model, or a sacrifice model, and an economical evaluation method using break-even analysis by the authors, and applied to some island routes in Japan. In the former paper, a feasibility of a fast passenger car ferries was assessed in the condition of competing it with other transportations, like airplanes and conventional car ferries. In the present study, a method to assess the feasibility of a fast passenger car ferry operated with conventional passenger car ferries by a company is developed, and applied to the Oki route, in Japan. The results demonstrate that the method can select an appropriate type among several types of the fast passenger car ferries and show an appropriate combination of fast and conventional car ferries in the route.
