transshipment port / entrepôt


Explanation:
The comments made by agreers polyglot45 and NKM above eventually led me to the following reference, which might be applicable to the queried term:

"An entrepôt (English: /ˈɑːntrəpoʊ/; French: [ɑ̃tʁəpo]) or transshipment port is a port, city, or trading post where merchandise may be imported, stored or traded, usually to be exported again. These commercial cities spawned due to the growth of long-distance trade."
