Hello,
The title of the agreement I am translating is 'shipping outsourcing service agreement'.
I wonder if shipping here would be better as livraison, expédition or transport...
Thanks for your input !

logistique
Something of a buzzword, used quite loosely in this same general sense, and seems very common in FR to cover situations from the most simple to the most sophisticated

Then that seems to me to confirm it!
If the contractor is working in 'logistics', it is only natural that they will liaise with the company's own Logistics Dept.

Note from asker:
| Merci ! J'y avais pensé mais j'ai trouvé plus loin dans le texte que le contractant devait se rapprocher dans certains cas du service logistique de Xxx (planning/logistics). Pour autant, ce terme semble approprié puisqu'il englobe les activités de conditionnement, envoi, transport... |
| Merci beaucoup Tony ! Je vais opter pour ce terme. |

: Exactement ce à quoi je pensais, mais sans avoir pu prendre le temps de vérifier. Cf. la description donnée par Véronique dans son commentaire à la réponse de Jacques.

apparemment il s'agirait d'un accord portant sur la sous-traitance du transport. Cordialement
Note from asker:
| Merci ! Dans le contrat, il est fait mention de forklift trucks, products stored in shipping area, express shipment, communication with carriers, packaging lines, pallets, truck loading, customer returns, shipping activities in XXX premises... |

: in the absence of more context, we shouldn't overlook that 'shipping' can also include the elements of 'despatch' etc.

transport
I agree with previous comment, this seems to entail the whole process of sending and carrying to final destination.

: If you agree with the previous answer, you should have posted an 'agree' to it. That's how KudoZ works. Can you please explain what you are hoping to achieve by duplicating existing answers?

: Exactly the same answer as posted by Jacques. The etiquette on this site is to post an agree, not to copy an answer already posted.

expéditions
With no context, it's difficult to be sure but it seems that it concerns all faces of delivery including handling, preparation and also transport.
Note from asker:
| Merci. Je suis d'accord car le contrat traite de tous ces aspects.Pour autant, peut-on parler de contrat de sous-traitance de services d'expéditions ? |
| Ou contrat de services d'expéditions ? |

Tony M
: That really translates 'despatch', which may be too restrictive here.
