We have oil tankers here in the United States. That I've seen coming in & out of port for years. With about as much rust on them as your logger ship. And yet they're still considered structurally sound. And seaworthy vessels. It might be an older ship. But let's let the maritime authorities determine when the ship is no longer fit for service. She's a fine lady.

@logbulker

Ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. In order for a cargo ship to operate, it must be regularly inspected by a classification society to ensure it is seaworthy. Although this ship looks very old, she has been inspected regularly and has passed the classification society inspection, which means she is carrying logs. As you say, she's a fine lady.

Thats a very big amount of wood :o How long does it take to completely loadup such a ship, how much weight does the logs have and where was it? Thanks in advance 🙂

@logbulker

2 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching. That's a good question, it takes about 3-5 days to ship all the log on one vessel. The weight of the logs depends on the species and length. Roughly, a 3.5 meter log weighs about half a ton. I understand that it was in a forestry complex near the export port.
