We resume work tomorrow
We resume work tomorrow
(OP)
When we discharge (or load) heavy cargoes, it's always preferred to do it with daylight.
Let's say that after loading two piece the next three are left for the next day.
What should I say? Loading was "deferred" or "postponed"?
Is it any difference between both expresions?

"I will defer this activity until tomorrow because I need sleep."
"I will postpone this activity until next week because the machine is broken."
But they are almost equivalent. In American English, I think either one would work just as well.

RE: We resume work tomorrow
So I would just say "loading continues tomorrow".
(waiting for more eloquent people to throw in another dozen of variations to the theme!

But in management-speak, both could be viewed as a delay. Why not put a positive spin on it, the title of your post is perfect.
We resume tomorrow.

"Interrupted" often suggests an unexpected break, while "suspended" is something I would normally use more if I wasn't sure when conditions would be right for work to resume.
How about "stopped for the night"

I would just say that "loading is under way, 2 out of 5 completed".
