What are the types of IFQ?
IFQ is issued in five types: CPO, converted CPO, CPC, CVO and CVC. CPO, converted CPO, and CPC IFQ can be used to harvest and process crab on board a vessel. CPO and CPC IFQ do not have to be delivered to a specific shore-based or stationary floating processor. Crab harvested under a converted CPO IFQ permit must be offloaded in the North Region. CVO and CVC QS must be delivered to a shore-based or stationary floating crab processor.
