noun
shipping agent
A business that arranges or handles the transportation of goods, especially by sea or inland waterways.
この港には古くから回送店が何軒もある。
There have been several shipping agents in this port since long ago.
運送業者 is a more general term for a transport company or carrier, while 回送店 specifically refers to a shipping agent, often associated with maritime or waterway transport.
Compound of 回送 (forwarding, shipping) and 店 (shop, business). The alternate kanji 回漕店 uses 漕 (to row/transport by water), reflecting its historical connection to waterborne shipping.
