DES (Delivered Ex Ship)

An Incoterm that represents an exporter’s requirement to cover the cost of transport to the port of destination, and to provide appropriate marine insurance coverage.  The passing of title (ownership and risk) does not occur until the ship has arrived at the port of destination, but before the goods have been unloaded.
