A Woodchip Carrier is a specialized carrier of woodchips, the raw material to make paper. Since woodchips are relatively small in specific gravity, the cargo hold space is extended sideways as far as possible to maximize the capacity, and the ballast space is arranged only on the bottom of the hull.
