free alongside ship

A mercantile term designating that the seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the dock and for paying the costs of delivery there. 0 When the seller delivers the goods to the specified dock, the risk of loss passes to the buyer. The abbreviation F.A.S. is more common than the full phrase; it is sometimes erroneously thought to stand for free along side as opposed to free alongside ship. Cf. FREE ON BOARD; COST, INSURANCE, AND FREIGHT.
