Özet:

The transportation of goods in the world is carried out by road, railway, airline, maritime and pipeline. In transportation, often using more than one type of transportation, intermodal transport system is utilized. Among the modes of transport, maritime transport has the largest share in quantity and proportion. Reasons such as increased trade, rapid industrialization, distance of transport distances, safe transportation of cargo in one time and in large quantities, transportation cost, excessive density of roads, etc. increase the share of maritime  transportation day by day. 84 percent of the world's foreign trade is maritime transport and in Turkey, the share  of marine transportation reached 88.70 percent of foreign trade. The reason  for having more share in transportation than other types of transportation is due to the economic and commercial  advantages provided by transportation. The main components of maritime transport is defined as ship, port and  cargo. Incoterms (delivery forms), which are used in transportation and have an important place in maritime  transportation, are important in terms of protecting the rights and interests of the parties in international trade.  Due to the complexity of the transportation system and the delivery patterns that vary depending on  technological and industrial developments, the need to make changes in Incoterms has emerged and within the  scope of this, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has made commercial and financial regulations to  minimize the problems that may arise in international trade, and these regulations have been updated over time.  In this research, the Incoterms in the world and in Turkey evaluated the developments in the maritime transport,  regarding the FOB-Free On Board, which is one of the Incoterms forms commonly used in sea and inland water  transportation, the responsibilities of the parties, the most recent changes and the problems faced in FOB delivery were evaluated and suggestions were made.
