A log barge includes a load-supporting deck comprising a plurality of adjacent deck sections, each of which is curved to present a depression extending longitudinally and parallel to the vessel centerline. Load securing lines extending transversely of the deck are disposed over a log load placed upon the deck and motor-driven winches maintain the thus disposed lines under a predetermined tension whereby the lines are self-tightening as individual logs shift during transport and are urged to settle more compactly within said depressions.
