Abstract: In this paper, we study a spacelike (timelike) ruled W-surface in Minkowski 3-space which satisfies nontrivial relation between elements of the set $\lbrace K,\ K_{II},\ H,\ H_{II}\rbrace $, where $(K, H)$ and $(K_{II}, H_{II})$ are the Gaussian and mean curvatures of the first and second fundamental forms, respectively. Finally, some examples are constructed and plotted.
