In order to provide fresh water in islands, small-scale desalination plants (< 100 m(3)/day) had been installed using reverse osmosis technology. To decrease high desalination cost of small-scale SWRO plants in islands in Republic of Korea, the desalination vessel having RO system (300 m(3)/day) was recently suggested. The desalination costs of the small-scale SWRO plants in islands and desalination vessel which can provide desalinated water to several islands were analyzed and were compared. The operational schedule of the desalination vessel in Shinan-gun, Republic of Korea was suggested considering the water demands, velocity and water storage of the desalination vessel, and distances between target islands. It was found that the water production cost could be saved when the desalination vessel was applied in Shinan-gun, Republic of Korea.
