The "Kulleet" and "Klatawa" are not operated by BC Ferries, but by TransLink on its Albion ferry route.

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 (absorbed by BC Ferries in 1985).

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 with significant modification and enlargement. The ship cost US$200,000 and will cost 4.5 million CAD to refit and enlarge vs building a new vessel which would cost up to $20 million.
