One reason why these self-dumping barges evolved, especially in BC, was to protect the logs from damage by marine borers like shipworms during their transit from forest to mill.

So, they are transported down a river, across saltwater, and back up a river to a sawmill again? Or are they cut quick enough not to get damaged?

There are tipping tanks that are filled to dump the barge. The towing tug is attached to the barge at all times. There is a smaller tug attached to the stern of the tug that disconnects when the barge dumps. As the tipping tanks are filling the two tugs work together to keep the barge in place.
