Why is 'Bill-of-Lading On-board Notation' added for FCA?
For goods transported by sea, buyers or sellers (or likely banks) may require a Bill-of-Lading (B/L) with an on-board notation alongside FCA (Free Carrier). Nevertheless, delivery under the FCA rule is completed before loading the vessel. Under Incoterms®, the carrier is, under its contract of carriage, bound and entitled to issue an on-board Bill-of-Lading only when the goods are on-board.
