shipping agents
Freight logistics intermediaries
Shipping agents are intermediaries who handle logistics for vessels and cargo at ports.
They arrange berthing, customs clearance, crew changes, and documentation on behalf of ship owners or charterers.
The term also applies to freight forwarders who coordinate the transport of goods: We hired shipping agents to handle the container shipment from Shanghai.
