The seller must load the goods on board the ship designated by the buyer. Costs and risks are divided when the goods are actually on board the ship (when using ICC Incoterms® 2020 this is when passing the ship's railing). FOB is a maritime condition. FOB may be less suitable if the goods are already transferred to the carrier before they are on board the ship, such as goods in containers, which are already delivered to the terminal. In such cases, it may be advisable to use FCA.
