FAS（Free Alongside Ship） 是国际贸易中常见的一种贸易术语，属于国际商会（ICC）发布的《国际贸易术语解释通则》（Incoterms）中的一种。它主要用来指代货物运输中的交货条件，规定卖方在指定的港口将货物交至船只旁边（而非船上），之后买方负责货物的装船、运输和后续费用。

1. 音标：

FAS [ˌefˌeɪˈes]
该缩写是英文单词 Free Alongside Ship 的首字母缩写。

2. 翻译：

FAS 通常翻译为“装船港船旁交货”，或简称“船旁交货”。

3. 读音：

FAS 的读音为 "ef-ay-es"，其中：

"ef" 发音为 /ɛf/

"ay" 发音为 /eɪ/

"es" 发音为 /ɛs/

4. 用法：

在 FAS 条款下，卖方承担的责任较少，主要是将货物运输到指定的港口并将其运送至船旁。之后的风险和费用则转移给买方。适用 FAS 的情况下，通常是在港口交货，而不是直接交到船上。

5. 例句：

Under the FAS terms, the seller must deliver the goods to the port alongside the ship.

The buyer is responsible for the cost of loading the goods onto the vessel after FAS delivery.

The seller’s obligations under the FAS Incoterm are completed once the goods are delivered next to the ship.

In an FAS contract, all risks pass to the buyer when the goods are placed alongside the ship at the agreed port.

FAS terms are commonly used in bulk shipments, where goods are delivered alongside a vessel for loading.

The FAS shipping agreement specifies that the seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the port, but not for loading them onto the ship.

Once the goods are delivered alongside the ship, the buyer assumes all risks associated with the shipment.

FAS can be a useful Incoterm for large, heavy goods that are not loaded by the seller.

After the goods are placed at the side of the ship, the seller’s responsibility ends under the FAS terms.

The FAS agreement requires the seller to clear the goods for export, but the buyer handles the import process.

6. 短语搭配：

FAS Port（船旁交货港口）：指卖方指定的交货港口。

FAS Terms（船旁交货条款）：指以 FAS 作为交易条件的条款。

FAS Shipping（船旁交货运输）：指基于 FAS 术语进行的运输。

7. 总结：

FAS 是一种常见的国际贸易术语，它使卖方的责任相对较小，只需将货物运输到指定的港口并交至船只旁边。该术语常用于海运和内河航运，对于需要卖方较少参与装船过程的交易尤其适用。
