It currently services the Brentwood Bay \u2013 Mill Bay route replacing the MV Mill Bay which went up for sale on February 24, 2011. Her name comes from a mountain near Sproat Lake[1]MV Kahloke[edit]Built: 1973, Vancouver, British ColumbiaLength: 54.75 m (179’6″)Power: 640\u00a0hpService Speed: 10 knotsGross Tonnage: 466Car Capacity: 30Passenger & Crew Capacity: 200Route: Denman Island\u2013Hornby IslandKahloke 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 Asbury Park served as Kahloke from 1952 to 1964 and was then renamed Langdale Queen. Her name comes from the Chinook Jargon for swan.[1][2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4MV Kwuna[edit]Built: 1975, Victoria, British ColumbiaLength: 71.64 m (235’4″)Power: 730\u00a0hpService Speed:  10 knotsGross Tonnage: 347.49Car Capacity: 26Passenger & Crew Capacity: 154Route: Skidegate\u2013Alliford BayKwuna 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. Her name means ‘point’ or ‘headland’ in Haida and refers to a geographic feature nearby.[1][3]  The ferry Kuper arriving at Chemainus during its first week of service in 2006MV Kuper[edit](formerly MV John Atlantic Burr)[4]Built: 1985, Bullfrog, UtahRebuilt: 2006, Vancouver, British ColumbiaLength: 52.21 m (171’3.5″)Power: 2 x 475\u00a0hpService Speed: 10 knotsGross Tonnage: 648Car Capacity: 32Passenger & Crew Capacity: 269Route: Chemainus\u2013Thetis Island\u2013Penelakut IslandKuper 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$\u00a0200,000 and CA$$4.5 million to refit and enlarge, which was considered quite a savings compared to the cost of building a new vessel which was estimated at CA$$20 million. She shares her name with the former name of Penelakut Island.TransLink[edit]MV Kulleet[edit]Built: 1972, Vancouver, British ColumbiaLength: 47.46 m (155’8″)Power: 650\u00a0hpService Speed: 10 knotsGross Tonnage: 355.04Car Capacity: 26Passenger & Crew Capacity: 150Route: Albion\u2013Fort Langley (Defunct)MV Klatawa[edit]Built: 1972, Vancouver, British ColumbiaLength: 47.46 m (155’8″)Power: 650\u00a0hpService Speed: 10 knotsGross Tonnage: 347.58Car Capacity: 26Passenger & Crew Capacity: 150Route: Albion\u2013Fort Langley (Defunct)Both Kulleet and Klatawa were owned and operated by Metro Vancouver’s Transportation Authority, TransLink, and they ran the Albion\u2013Fort Langley route on the Fraser River, between the Maple Ridge suburb of Albion south to McMillan Island in Fort Langley. On July 31, 2009, the Albion Ferry was 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 had been put into service in the 1980s.The two Albion ferries were sold for $400,000 \u2013 less than half of the original asking price of $1.1 million. TransLink 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.[citation needed] Both ships have since been bought and renamed by Diversified Marine of Halfmoon Bay. Klatawa has been renamed to Marena Mac and Kulleet to Nelson Mac.[5][6]Both ships’ names are of native origin, with Klatawa being the verb ‘to go’ in Chinook Jargon and Kulleet referring to Kulleet Bay, which literally means ‘Bay Bay’ as Kulleet means ‘bay’ Island Halkomelem.[7]References[edit]^ a b c Clapp, Frank (1991).
