Comprendre FOB : Analyse Technique Approfondie
Mécanisme opérationnel et application commerciale en transport international
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
Repères opérationnels selon le Code des Douanes turc n° 4458 et régimes frontaliers
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.
Points Clés de Conformité Douanière à l'Export Turc
- •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.
Erreurs Courantes des Chargeurs à Éviter
- ⚠️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.
