Detaillierte Technische Analyse zu FOB
Operative Mechanismen und kommerzielle Praxis in der internationalen Spedition
Free On Board (FOB) applies strictly to sea and inland waterway transport. The seller is responsible for packing, local trucking to the Turkish seaport, terminal handling charges (THC origin), export customs brokerage, and loading cargo securely over the vessel's rail onto the nominated ocean ship. Once goods are safely placed on board, risk of loss or damage transfers immediately to the buyer. The buyer pays international ocean freight, marine insurance, destination port charges, and destination customs clearance. Note that ICC Incoterms 2020 rules discourage using FOB for containerized cargo handed over at inland container yards (CY), advising FCA instead.

Operational Considerations at Major Turkish Maritime Ports
Praxisleitfaden nach türkischem Zollgesetz Nr. 4458 und Grenzvorschriften
FOB is standard for Turkish bulk mineral, steel, and agricultural exports from Mersin International Port (MIP), Port of İskenderun, and Port of Ambarlı. However, when shipping containerized cargo, shipping lines require containers to be gated in at the terminal yard 2 to 4 days before vessel loading. During this terminal dwell period, if a container is damaged by port gantry cranes, disputes frequently arise under FOB because risk does not legally pass until loading on board. Brosan Lojistik advises using FCA Port for containerized ocean shipments.
Wichtige Compliance-Regeln beim Türkei-Export
- •Major Turkish FOB loading ports: Port of Ambarlı (Istanbul), Mersin (TRMER), Asyaport (TRASY), and İzmir Aliağa (Nemport/TCE EGE).
- •Seller must deliver cargo within the vessel's designated container gate-in cut-off window.
- •Late arrival at the port terminal can incur heavy container demurrage and miss the feeder vessel connection.
Häufige Fehler von Verladern vermeiden
- ⚠️Using FOB for containerized cargo rather than bulk, creating an uninsured liability gap during container terminal dwell time.
- ⚠️Buyer failing to nominate a vessel on time, leaving containers stuck at Turkish port yards incurring storage charges.
- ⚠️Disputes over whether lashing and securing on board bulk vessels falls on the seller or the ocean carrier.
