Thanks Alberto!
Al Zaid May 19, 2014:
I'm in line with Manuel here...
Maria Mastruzzo (asker) May 19, 2014:
Thank you, Manuel. Yes, the abbreviation would be the same in both languages. We'll wait and see if there are other suggestions.
Manuel Aburto May 19, 2014:
My first answer was franco a bordo but its abbreviation in both English and Spanish is FOB.

Let's wait and see others'suggestions.

Sorry, that's a bad translation. I didn't do enough research:

I think either of these two would work:

base rate
ocean freight
Note from asker:
Thank you, nedra, your options seem quite suitable and the glossary is very complete.
