Unveiling the Secrets of Maritime Incoterms with InterlogEuropa
In the world of international trade, logistics plays a pivotal role in the success of any business. At InterlogEuropa, we strive to provide comprehensive logistics solutions that help our clients overcome the challenges of maritime transportation. In this article, we’ll take you on an exciting journey to uncover the secrets behind maritime Incoterms and what they mean for you, the buyer.
Setting Sail with FOB (Free on Board):
The term FOB is like a one-way ticket for your products to their final destination. Under this term, the seller takes responsibility for delivering the goods on board the vessel at the designated loading port. Once the cargo is on board, the adventure begins for you as the buyer! From that moment on, you take the reins and assume responsibility for the costs and risks associated with maritime transportation and cargo insurance.
Navigating with CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight):
With CIF, you board the ship knowing you’re covered from bow to stern. Under this term, the seller not only takes care of delivering the goods on board the vessel but also pays for the freight and transportation insurance to the agreed destination port. From that point onwards, the responsibility and risks of the cargo pass to you. It’s like receiving a package full of surprises, but with the peace of mind of being protected during the journey!
Charting Success with CFR (Cost and Freight):
With CFR, you’re at the helm of your destiny. Similar to CIF, but without the included transportation insurance, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods on board the vessel and paying for the freight to the agreed destination port. From that point onwards, the responsibility and risks pass to you, the buyer. It’s like navigating open waters, taking control and responsibility for your cargo.
