FCA - FREE CARRIER
It can be used for any transport mode, or wherever there's over one transport mode.
A very versatile rule that's appropriate for all things wherever the customer arranges the most carriage
For example:
The seller arranges pre-carriage from the seller’s depot to the named place, which maybe a terminal or transport hub, forwarder’s warehouse, etc. Delivery and transfer of risk takes place once the truck or different vehicle arrives at this place, prepared for unloading – in different words, the carrier is to blame for unloading the products. (If there's over one carrier, then risk transfers on delivery to the primary carrier)

Where the named place is that the seller’s premises, then the vendor is to blame for loading the products onto the truck, etc. NB this can be a very important distinction from Ex Works EXW.
In all cases, the vendor is to blame for export clearance; the client assumes all risks and prices when the products are delivered at the named place.
FCA is that the rule of alternative for containerized products wherever the customer arranges for the most carriage.
