The K-class ferries (often referred to as 'K-barges', due to their hull type and size) are a group of similarly designed ferries operated by both BC Ferries and TransLink in British Columbia, Canada.

With the exception of MV Kuper, all of the listed K-class vessels were built for service in British Columbia's Ministry of Highways salt water inter-island ferry fleet which was absorbed by BC Ferries in 1985.

BC Ferries

MV Klitsa


(formerly MV Denman Queen)


Built: 1972, Vancouver, British Columbia


Length: 47.46 m (155'8")


Power: 600 hp


Service Speed: 9 knots


Gross Tonnage: 352.58


Car Capacity: 26


Passenger & Crew Capacity: 195


Route: Brentwood Bay ↔ Mill Bay


Klitsa has been in BC Ferries maintenance facility, called Deas Dock, quite often during past years. It currently services the Brentwood Bay - Mill Bay route replacing MV Mill Bay which went up for sale on February 24, 2011.


MV Kahloke
Built: 1973, Vancouver, British Columbia
Length: 54.75 m (179'6)


Power: 640 hp


Service Speed: 10 knots


Gross Tonnage: 466


Car Capacity: 30


Passenger & Crew Capacity: 200


Route: Denman Island ↔ Hornby Island


Kahloke sometimes aided the Albion Ferries, owned by TransLink when one was out of service. This was not the first ferry named Kahloke to operate on the BC coast. The 1903 built {{SS|Asbury Park||2}} served as Kahloke from 1952 to 1964 and was then renamed Langdale Queen.


MV Kwuna
Built: 1975, Victoria, British Columbia
Length: 71.64 m (235'4)


Power: 730 hp


Service Speed: 10 knots


Gross Tonnage: 347.49


Car Capacity: 26


Passenger & Crew Capacity: 154


Route: Skidegate ↔ Alliford Bay


Kwuna is different from the other K-class vessels. It has loading ramps attached to the vessel, not to land like the others. It docks at concrete boat-launch-like ramps, then lowers the vehicle ramp down to the ground.


MV Kuper[1]


(formerly MV John Atlantic Burr)


Built: 1985, Bullfrog, Utah
Rebuilt: 2006, Vancouver, British Columbia
Length: 52.21 m (171'3.5)


Power: 2 x 475 hp


Service Speed: TBA


Gross Tonnage: 648


Car Capacity: 32


Passenger & Crew Capacity: 269


Route: Chemainus ↔ Thetis Island ↔ Penelakut Island


Kuper is the newest of the K-barges and started service in 2006.

The former MV John Atlantic Burr operated on Utah's Lake Powell as of early September 2005. The following winter, the vessel was cut into four sections, transported by truck to British Columbia, and reassembled as MV Kuper, with significant modification and enlargement. The ship cost {{US$}} 200,000 and {{CAD}}$4.5 million to refit and enlarge, which was considered quite a savings compared to the cost of building a new vessel which was estimated at {{CAD}}$20 million.

TransLink


MV Kulleet
Built: 1972, Vancouver, British Columbia


Length: 47.46 m (155'8")


Power: 650 hp


Service Speed: 10 knots


Gross Tonnage: 355.04


Car Capacity: 26


Passenger & Crew Capacity: 150


Route: Albion ↔ Fort Langley (Defunct)


MV Klatawa
Built: 1972, Vancouver, British Columbia


Length: 47.46 m (155'8")


Power: 650 hp


Service Speed: 10 knots


Gross Tonnage: 347.58


Car Capacity: 26


Passenger & Crew Capacity: 150


Route: Albion ↔ Fort Langley (Defunct)

Both Kulleet and Klatawa were owned and operated by Metro Vancouver's Transportation Authority, TransLink, and they ran the Albion ↔ Fort Langley route on the Fraser River, between the Maple Ridge suburb of Albion on the North, to McMillan Island in Fort Langley, to the south. On July 31, 2009, the Albion Ferry shut down after the opening of the Golden Ears Bridge. The ferry had connected Maple Ridge and Langley via the Fraser River since 1957. Kulleet and Klatawa were put into service in the 1980s.

The two Albion ferries have been sold for $400,000 - less than half of the original asking price of $1.1 million - TransLink has confirmed. The regional transportation authority said in a news release on December 30, 2011 that MV Kulleet and MV Klatawa have been bought by Tidal Towing, a B.C.-based company.
