The type of logging HIMR intends to do is called deadhead logging in the United States. Since this is not a well known type of logging, it might be helpful for investors to learn a little of the background for this industry.





Deadhead logs are logs that have been submerged in water after trees were cut from ancient American forests during the late 1700's to early 1800's (some as early as the 1600's), and then floated down rivers or across lakes toward a means of transport or to waterside saw mills.





Research indicates that many of these trees were ax fallen from virgin forests during the 1700's to 1930. And, at the time these trees were cut (or harvested), they were already 150 to 1500 years old. After the trees were fallen, they were often hitched to oxen and taken to rivers or lakes for transport to the nearest waterside sawmill. However, as the logs were floated down waterways, many became waterlogged or were caught in log jams and eventually sank. This is the prize Hollund Industrial Marine could go after in the United States.





Since the day the logs sank, they began aging in the river and lake bottoms, and have been perfectly preserved. In fact, the minerals in the water in which the logs rest, plays a part in the enhanced color of the finished lumber cut from these logs.





Some might ask if the saturated wood causes problems. The answer to that question is no. Today's state-of-the-art equipment and dry kilns, enable underwater loggers to meet clients' custom specifications while facilitating their commitment to the purity, elegance and function of this precious commodity.
