Full Liner Terms is a freight clause in ocean shipping that comes into play when determining who bears the costs of loading, discharging, stowing, trimming, and securing cargo. Under this arrangement, the carrier assumes all port-handling expenses and associated risks, in line with its published liner conditions. The contrasting clause is Free In/Out (FIO), which places cargo-operation costs at both ends on the shipper; hybrid variants—Free In or Free Out—allocate costs to one side only. When booking ocean freight or reviewing a bill of lading, shippers and forwarders must confirm which clause governs, as it directly shapes total landed cost and the allocation of liability.
