OAR 635-005-0615. Transferability of Pink Shrimp Permits

(1) Any transfer of a Pink Shrimp Permit away from a vessel without the written consent of each person holding a security interest in such vessel is void. Pink Shrimp Permit holders may transfer a permit pursuant to ORS 508.907. (2) In the event a buyer fails to complete a purchase agreement for a vessel permit, the seller is eligible for a temporary transfer of the vessel permit back to the seller, if a preliminary injunction is issued by a circuit court requiring the State Department of Fish and Wildlife to allow the seller to continue to operate a vessel in the fishery during the pendency of the proceeding. An order granting a preliminary injunction under this section must include a finding that allowing the seller to continue to operate a vessel in the fishery will not cause excessive harvest pressure on the fishery resource.
