I think it is the numbers of people working at each task. When the oranges were loaded in SA - PE & Cape Town in our case - they came to the dock side in railway waggons hauled by huge steam engines, and were manhandled off the loading palettes by large gangs of dockers and stowed individually into the hold. It took several days. I suppose you could call the reefers 'bulk carriers' in a sort of way
