Shipper
One who ships or puts goods on board of a vessel, to be carried to another place during her voyage. In general, the shipper is bound to pay for the hire of the vessel, or the freight of the goods.
Shipping articles
Contracts, Maritime law. The act of congress of July 20, 1790, s. 1, directs that a master of any vessel bound from a port in the United States to any foreign port, or of any vessel of fifty tons or upwards, bound from a port in one state to a port in any other than at adjoining state, shall, before he proceed on such voyage, make an agreement in writing or in print, with every seaman or mariner on board such vessel, (except such as shall be apprenticed or servant to himself or owners) declaring the voyage or voyages, term or terms of time, for which such seaman or mariner shall be shipped.
Shipping conferences
Various shipowners who operate liner, rather than tramp, services have formed associations in various trades, and various areas of the world. These associations, or conferences, fix freight (supra) rates to prevent unfair price cutting and to ensure reasonable profits.

For this reason, the Convention on a Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences was adopted by UNCITRAL in 1974. Other nations feel that ocean carriage is already so competitive and risky that some international rules and rate fixing is needed to prevent unfair undercutting and other improper practices.
