I have attached a screenshot of the schema. I have order, order_lines and shipment_lines related as in the following picture...
Is it mandatory to create a junction object to get shipment lines for a particular order line?
Thanks in advance!

You can use the existing objects and relationships e.g. like this:
select Id, ...
from ShipmentLine__c
where Shipment__c in (select Shipment__c from OrderLines__c where Id = :orderLineId)
order by ...
so in general no you do not need to introduce another relationship/junction object.
