Oregon Revised Statutes Commercial Fishing and Fisheries § 508.907

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) The vessel permit required by ORS 508.880 is transferable:

(a) To a replacement vessel of the permit holder. A replacement is any vessel that is purchased for any reason to replace a vessel previously owned by and licensed to the permit holder;

(b) To the purchaser of the vessel when the vessel is sold; or

(c) To a replacement vessel owned by an individual other than the permit holder. However, any transfer of a permit away from a vessel without the written consent of each person holding a security interest in such vessel is void.

(2) A permit may be transferred to a vessel of greater length only if that vessel is within 5 feet in overall length of the vessel from which the permit is being transferred. This provision does not apply if the permit is being transferred from one vessel owned by an individual to another vessel not exceeding 80 feet in length that is owned by the same individual.

(3) A permit may not be transferred to another vessel more than once in a 12-month period. However, the Commercial Fishery Permit Board may waive the waiting period if the board finds that strict adherence to the waiting period would create undue hardship for the individual seeking transfer of the permit.

(4) A fee of $100 shall be charged for each transfer of a vessel permit under this section.
