That sounds plausible too, as the goods are technically in the hands of the carrier at that point.

But that would mean choosing option A, which is not correct according to the INCOTERM FOB.

I'm not so sure about that, I think the risk passes when the goods are unloaded at the destination port.

I agree with Steffanie, the risk definitely passes when the goods have passed over the ship's rail at the port of shipment.

But some may argue that the risk passes when the goods are delivered to the named destination port.
