[@Jabberwok28]

Being sold to China… draw your own conclusions.

[@graememckay9972]

Same in Scotland. Apparently our growing conditions are perfect for fast growth which means the wood isn't dense enough for anything structural. The denser wood comes from Nordic countries because the trees grow slower the rings are more compact making stronger wood.

[@bigredc222]

Does the government control that? In the U.S. that would be privately owned and they can sell to the highest bidder.

[@NewYorkNixDa]

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]

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.

Hi, Mark, Thank you for watching. That's a great question, and these are logs that are exported to China. I didn't get to see the loading operation.

[@jaredbailey8237]

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]

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.

Shipping at the wharf is no easy task, and it's the hard work of stevedores that makes this international trade import and export possible. Crane operator typically work three and a half hours with a half hour break. Rather than torture, I think they are working hard for their families. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for good question. After the lumber is loaded into the hold, the hatch covers are closed to keep the water out. I hope you can see the video of the hatch covers being closed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip27pWSfirV-adEsi=NCLKk3Hwqls-exqw&t=244

[@karachikungfu7371]

Question mate. If there’s this much timber to move, why isn’t there a mill in the region? Or do these logs have another purpose other than lumber?

Can't cut jobs if you don't export the raw logs.

I live in south coastal British Columbia. Saw mills and pulp mills mostly all gone. It seems most everything is exported these days. Feller/Bunchers and contract fallers rule the world. Forests are controlled by pension funds. Crappy wood in the stores. @@karachikungfu7371

[@gragor11]

At one time Crown Zellerbach ran the show around here. CZ, a New Zealand company. Originally, at the end of the 19th century up until the 1980s when there was still lots of easy old growth timber to cut it was the British capital that built the railroads that owned the timber that fed their mills that fed their railroads, then roads, that fed their ships that supplied the lumber that built the cities of the US and the world. All gone. Stump to dump. On to the ships and away she goes. Who can afford wood. They use steel anywhere they can.

[@logbulker]

We do have a mill, but it's mainly processing materials for domestic use. In my opinion, they export the processed logs, but it's cheaper for importers to import and process them.

[@antigonish63]

Two questions. What's the tonnage of that load? How the hell do they unload?

[@logbulker]

Thank you for watching. New Zealand's wood industry is operated by a long-term plan from the New Zealand Government and the Forestry Association of NZ. With so many trees being cut down and exported, you might think that New Zealand's forests would be in ruins, but that's not the case - it's not something to worry about. Thank you.
