Together with the EXW Incoterm , FOB is probably the most commonly requested Incoterm.  Here too,  FCA "Port terminal" is the better option. For FOB shipments the responsibility and the costs transfer from seller to buyer as soon as the container is loaded on board of the vessel. The reason we recommend FCA over FOB, has to do with the transference of the cargo, which is better suited to a "place of" description, than once it passes the ship rail.
