If the term is F.O.B. vessel the buyer must name the vessel and in an appropriate case the seller must comply with s. 402.323 on the form of bill of lading.
402.319(2) (2) Unless otherwise agreed the term F.A.S. vessel (which means “free alongside”) at a named port, even though used only in connection with the stated price, is a delivery term under which the seller must:

402.319(3) (3) Unless otherwise agreed in any case falling within sub.

The seller may treat the failure of needed instructions as a failure of cooperation under s. 402.311 . The seller may also at the seller’s option move the goods in any reasonable manner preparatory to delivery or shipment.
