    Buyer pays for and assumes ownership of a vessel already loaded — quick market entry with immediate cargo

    Direct transfer from vessel into onshore storage tanks at discharge terminals

  • DAP / DES

    Seller delivers to destination port and bears all risks and costs until unloading

  • CFR (Cost and Freight)

    Seller pays ocean freight to destination; risk transfers to buyer once cargo is loaded

  • FOB (Free on Board)

    Seller loads at origin; buyer assumes all subsequent costs and risks from the loading port
