Barging, for the shipping of logs, is a common method of transportation in British Columbia
because barges can be operated year-round in exposed areas and because high volumes of
logs pass through only a few sites. These barges can be self-dumping, self-loading,
or both, and the logs can be barged either loose or in bundles. Barge-mounted
cranes capable of handling 22 bundles of 79,830 kg each have been developed and
help to reduce the barging and dumping of loose logs. ~ Water Transportation and Storage of Logs
