The PAIMA Board of Directors along with the PAIMA office are happy to report that we are finally going to launch our New Tonnage Portal for all PAIMA Members. The New Tonnage Portal will certainly offer more reporting capabilities and other value added features for all Members.

After further reflection as to the official launch date of the New Tonnage Portal, the IT team determined that it would be best to wait and finish the final tonnage reporting with our current cycle (August 1st, 2023 - July 31st, 2024; with the additional reporting time granted which is until September 1st, 2024. (September 1st, 2024, is the LAST day possible to report tonnage for the August 1st, 2023 - July 31st, 2024 reporting cycle in the current portal). The final consensus is that it would be best to officially open up and start the New Tonnage Portal for the new reporting cycle next year (August 1st, 2024 - July 31st, 2025), after September 1st, 2024.

We will be sending out new login data to each PAIMA Member, for the New Tonnage portal. Target date based on the above mentioned will be September 2nd, 2024. We will certainly send notice once we are close to making the official change. Please stay tuned for more information.

In our continuing efforts to keep our tonnage portal numbers as accurate as possible, the PAIMA office continues with our "Tonnage Verification" process. This process is in place to catch any possible input errors, duplicate or incorrect entries.

The PAIMA office will be reaching out selectively checking on some of the entries in the system. We thank you for your time and cooperation which ensures accurately reported tonnage.

We would like to thank all the Members that have already cooperated with the verification process.
