Morphology

shipper = ship (transparent) = ship + er

Agentive noun formed by the productive suffix '-er' from the verb 'ship' meaning 'to send/transport', which is directly understandable.

Etymology

Shipper comes from the common word ship ('boat' or 'to send') plus the agent ending -er ('one who'). So a shipper is simply 'one who sends' goods for transport.
