In this paper, using the classifications of timelike and spacelike ruled surfaces, we study the Mannheim offsets of timelike ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. Firstly, we define the Mannheim offsets of a timelike ruled surface by considering the Lorentzian casual character of the offset surface. We obtain that the Mannheim offsets of a timelike ruled surface may be timelike or spacelike. Furthermore, we characterize the developable of Mannheim offset of a timelike ruled surface by the derivative of the conical curvature of the directing cone.
