The inland passage features floating logs and deadheads not because of avalanches. They get loose in logging operations such as when booms break apart in storms. Independent operators known locally as beachcombers tow them to the sawmills with small boats and collect a bounty. Their boat numbers are preceded by the letters LS to indicate they have a log salvage license.
I don’t see where logs could be an issue in European or American ports where large vessels dock.
