The MV Kalama was a Skagit/Kalama Class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries (WSF). The Sagit and Kalama were constructed in 1989 at Halter Marine in New Orleans, Louisiana.[4] Along with the Skagit, she operated the Seattle-Vashon Island passenger-only service. In 2006 WSF was directed to end its passenger-only service, and in 2011 the Kalama and Skagit were sold. The vessels were transported to Tanzania to provide service between the mainland and Zanzibar.[5]
Kalama was ordered taken out of service by the Zanzibar government after the loss of Skagit in 2012.[6]
