For an ocean shipment, the commercial agreement should align with booking, origin handling and document instructions. Do not treat the freight quotation as a substitute for the agreed sale terms.

What to confirm

Record the named ports and ask the contracting parties to confirm the insurance and delivery responsibilities.

Prepare these details

• Agreed rule, version and named place or port
• Buyer and seller responsibilities in the sale agreement
• Origin and destination tasks included in the freight quote
• Responsible contacts for documents and operational handovers

Plan the next step with FDD

Send the relevant details with your enquiry. FDD can review transport and cargo preparation options, confirm the information still needed, and explain the proposed scope before booking.
