Transport / Transportation / Shipping / freight
English term or phrase: carrier, shipper and freight forwarder
As in "our [law firm]'s expertise includes...contract negotiations with carriers, shippers and freight forwarders in the U.S.".

不太明白这三个词的准确区别,shipper应该也有托运人的意思,即委托者而非承运者,但这里似乎更像承运人的意思;forwarder是代运或转运?如果一定要区分这三者,而不是笼统的“承运商”指代,如何区分?

承运人,发货人和运输行
Explanation:
在国际贸易商务及法律领域,第一个一般称为“承运人”,第二个一般称为发货人或托运人,第三个一般称为运输行,其实就是实务常见的“货代”,即货物运输代理。按UCP500,除非信用证另有规定,承运人签发的提单可以接受,但运输行以自己名义签发的提单不可接受。由于现在有的运输行规模很大,甚至有自己的船队,实际上也就成了承运人,因此,以“承动人”身份签发的提单也是可以接受的。最近的UCP600结合航运实际,好象在这方面的规定更为符合实际一些。

上面的“承动人”应为“承运人”。
