Arabic term or phrase: خدمات الشحن
إذا كان السياق عبارة التجارة الإلكترونية بين الدول الخليجية وبعضها ومن الدول الخليجية إلى شرق أفريقيا ووسط آسيا وهكذا ولا يحدد السياق نوعية الشحن سواء شحن بحري أو جوي أو بري.
فهل نستخدم:

أم هناك ترجمة أفضل؟
وهل تعتبر shipping بمعنى الشحن عمومًا
أم خاصة بالشحن البحري؟؟

Cargo Services / Freight Services


Explanation:
I think "Cargo Services" is more Generic.

There are several types of cargo services available, including air cargo, sea cargo, road cargo, rail cargo, and intermodal cargo services.

"There are four major types of freight transportation available for shippers to use in the world of freight shipping. The primary ones are by ground (road), rail, ocean, and air."
https://omnilogistics.com/four-major-types-of-freight-transp...

"Cargo and shipment are shipping terms that are sometimes used interchangeably but have slightly different meanings. It’s essential to understand the difference so you use the correct terms when you communicate about cargo vs. shipment with your eCommerce fulfillment service and other providers.
Today, cargo most often refers to the containers in ocean shipping, but shippers can transport cargo by airplane, truck, or train as well. Cargo is a generic term for all the items onboard a container ship or other form of transport.
Freight refers to shipments of bulk goods. Cargo and freight are generally the same."

"Cargo, also known as freight, refers to goods or produce being transported from one place to another – by water, air or land."
