    Typical of many African ports where the ships use their own cranes to load/unload cargos.

    It looks like many smaller bundles were loaded then unloaded by picking up several of these smaller bundles at the same time by their original loading ropes.

    So yeah it wouldn't make any sense to have to load remove the ropes then try and make up bundles again.

    I was thinking that if one of those ship sank on the high seas a huge part of the population might starve before another ship could be sent.

    Rice is a major part a high percentage of the world's population dietary needs
