Timber Ships

Timber ships are large vessels specifically designed to transport logs or cut timber across oceans. Built for durability, they often feature wide holds or compartments to carry bulky wood, and may be fitted with equipment to load and unload heavy timber efficiently. Historically important for the forestry industry, these ships enabled the global shipment of timber for construction and manufacturing. Today, they are less common but remain a specialized type of cargo vessel used where timber trade continues. Their design focuses on maximizing cargo capacity while ensuring safe transit over long distances.
