A button to put MARS2 on pause when temporarily sailing on a NON RWS project. [req.1250]

If a ship sails for another client for a short time, it is desirable that the Mars data storage as well as the synchronisation can temporarily be stopped.

Further refinement has to take place in consultation with the contractors.


Give an audible signal when there is no incoming data. [req. 1249]

The ability to get an audible signal in the absence of incoming data. This signal can be turned on or off.

Further refinement has to take place in consultation with the contractors.

Make visible in the board interface for how long the water trip is still valid. [req. 1476]

Make visible in the board interface for how long the water trip is still valid.


Place the "valid to" date on the report. 

No longer show error messages when leaving the field. [req. 1542]

If an input field is subject to validation, this validation takes place when leaving the field. The column on the right screen side therefore displays an error message. At that point, the cursor is either on the comment button or in the next input field. This can also be in an input field on another tab.   

The change is: 

  • To stop showing the error message when leaving the field, 

  • Showing the red cross behind the field remains unchanged,

  • The error message will not show until the cursor is placed in the field that has a red cross or warning sign.

Separation of locations. [req. 1547]

In this version, the following functionalities related to the box separation are added.

The location name is listed separately on the screen. These locations are displayed in a coloured way in accordance with the table below:

Location from the list of plot locations.Green
Area box from the list of plot locations.Yellow
Location from the list of all locations.Light orange
Area box from the list of all locations.Dark orange
Location "Unknown".Red

Below is an example of a location from the list of parcel locations:

LocatieOmschrijvingScherm1GroenmetVraagtekenKnipsel.png

Below is an example of a location "Unknown":

LocatieOmschrijvingScherm5RoodmetVraagtekenKnipsel.png

Any error messages resulting from the above list will no longer be taken into account in the "Warning state" (Trafic light). [req 1547]

(Mainrequirement: 821)

Simplify entering manual soundings [req. 1248]

The solution is sought in filling in as much as possible in advance.

Further refinement has to take place in consultation with the contractors.


Split up ON-Walgebruiker [req. 1312]

Distinguish the following roles:

  • A shore user who can only enter and edit configurations.

  • A shore user who can use only project data.

Use the GPS location of the suction tube position next to the antenna position. [req. 1247]

It can happen that the suction tube is in the correct location while the GPS antenna is in a different location. This happens most frequently if the defined location is small.

Further refinement has to take place in consultation with the contractors.

2024 Q4 Version 2.6.x

All optional signals can be displayed in the graph [req. 1587]

The system offers the possibility to:

  • Enable or disable the display of each individual (optional) signal in the graph.

  • Adjust the y-axis scaling for each individual (optional) signal.

  • The scaling can be set to automatic, or to user-defined minimum and maximum values.

This already worked for a large number of signals, now also for all signals.

Empty ship value is shown in system checks table [req. 1343]

The TAB monitor on the on-board system contains TAB system checks. If no system check is currently being performed, this TAB will display a table of all system checks performed on the ship.
The "Empty Ship Value" has been added to this table so that it is easier to gain insight into the Empty Ship value.

Entering manual soundings, delays and comments has been improved. [req. 1087]

In the past it was not always possible to add manual soundings, delays and comments. For example, during an interrupted trip or during the current trip.
Manual soundings, delays and comments can now be entered for multiple trip statuses. After validation on shore this is no longer possible.

For public documents, the name of the person who uploaded the document has been removed [req. 1254]

For public documents, the user interface does not show who uploaded a document. After logging in, the name of the uploader is only visible for documents if:

  • The uploader is the logged in user.

  • The user is logged in with the Functional Management role.

Functionality to not accept a configuration without further checking. [req. 1633]

It often happens that a contractor asks to put a configuration on concept again so that a final change is possible. In the past, all fields had to be reviewed before the MARS Support Group (MSG) could return a configuration.

Now the "Do not Accept" button becomes immediately available to the MSG, after it has added a comment on the "Overview and (Not) Accept" tab. This allows the contractor's request to be met more quickly.

In the Process panel / Harmonica view, two values have been removed. [req. 1162]

Up to now the system has among other things displayed the following values in the harmonica view:

  • empty ship displacement in tons;

  • empty ship displacement in m3;

  • displacement in tons (was always 0.000);

  • displacement in m3 (same as empty ship displacement in m3);

The last two values are overbid and therefore removed.

Parcel activation

Changing the parcel of the current trip. [req. 1113]

As long as the ship still has status empty sailing, it is possible to link the current trip to another parcel ship and parent parcel.


The old "Activate" buttons under parcel and under parcel ship have been removed. [req. 1286]

Due to the previously added functionality for activating a parcel and parcel ship, the old buttons are redundant or even unwanted. These buttons have been removed in this version.

The archiving of projects, contracts, parcel and parcel ships has been improved. [req. 1217]

When a ship departs, it has usually collected data shortly before in a trip that will not be completed and that not belongs to the current parcel. This data is not useful, but causes that the parcel has an uncompleted trip attached to it. As a result, it is currently not possible to set a parcel to "completed" status in MARS.
That has been improved with this version. In addition, when an item is completed, the underlying items are automatically set to completed.

The fields "Sensor Manufacturer" and "Sensor type" have been removed from the configuration in the web portal. [req. 1545]

The following fields have been removed:

  • 3.1.1.x Sensor manufacturer

  • 3.1.2.x Sensor type (manufacturer)

  • 6.b.1.x Sensor manufacturer

  • 6.b.2.x Sensor type (manufacturer)

  • 7.1.13.x Sensor manufacturer

  • 7.1.14.x Sensor type (manufacturer)

In addition, the relevant tabs have been adjusted, including the numbering and order of the fields and the layout.

The layout of the columns in the Management TAB under Travel has been adjusted. [req. 1344]

The order of the columns has been adjusted, some fields have been deleted and new fields have been added. The changes are listed in a table below.

Column nameExistingRemark

There is now an option to enter a manual sounding taken in the middle of the hopper into MARS. [req. 1595]

Until now this was only possible for port and/or starboard. When entering manual soundings, a choice can now be made for port, middle or starboard.

Under Management->Preference Sets, both "Selectable Values" and "Visible Values" have their own scroll bar. [req. 1292]

In the Preference Sets panel, both sections can now be scrolled independently for "Selectable Values" and "Visible Values". This change makes it easier for the user to see what changes have been made to the preference set. There is less scrolling back and forth to check the changes made in the "Visible Values" section.

When changing a hand sounding, it is now mandatory to enter a reason for changing the hand sounding. [req. 1173]

The reason why a change is being made must be stated in the "Comment" field.

When switching a tab within the creation of a configuration, an error message no longer appears. [req. 1331]

If the "Next" button is clicked within a configuration and not all fields have been completed, a pop-up will appear with a message "Continue to the next tab and ignore errors?" this has now been removed. The check whether all fields have been completed still takes place when saving and submitting a configuration.

2024 Q3 Version 2.5.x

A Bug in ship configuration field 4.1.16.x has been fixed.

At field 4.1.16.x it was not possible to save an entered comment. In addition, the acceptance process did not function on this field. This has now been resolved. [def 1967]

Add a publication date to several items under this "Information" tab.

The publication date is the date of creation and is visible on the right side of a component in a smaller font, in the following sections FAQ, Tips&Tricks, Release Notes, Release Prognosis [req 1632]

Add dredging depth to a location.

In the user interface of the application and in the database, an additional field with the "Maximum dredging depth" is added under "Locations". [req 1618]

Audit log is not complete.

User actions are stored in the audit log. For a number of fields (a.o. 3.1.4.x) in the ship configuration, this does not seem to work. This has now been resolved. [def 2111]

Enter manuel soundings for multiple hoppers.

For vessels with more than one hopper, a manual sounding cannot be added for another hopper if a manual sounding already exists for one of the hoppers. This has now been resolved and manuel soundings can now be added for all hoppers. [def 778]

Improved empty ship determination capabilities.

Different sequences are followed with regard to unloading than those taken into account when writing the requirements, so in practice the empty ship is not always determined at the right time. For example, at Dumping to Rainbowen. (Whether or not with sailing empty in between) It also does not work correctly in every situation when there is no sailing empty between the two unloading sessions.

In the following situations, MARS must always make the empty ship determination at the correct time after the last unloading session, regardless of whether or not there is an sailing empty between the unloading sessions. [req 1682, 1673, def 779, 2299, 2301]

Improving the functioning of the water trip

If "dumping" is detected, continue with standard water trip.

With the water trip you have three options after loading: "Continue", "Reverse water trip" or "Cancel".

If you do not choose any of these three options and the system detects the status transition "sailing full - dumping", then the system behaves as if you have clicked "Continue". After opening the bottom doors, the system continues automatically with the normal water trip and determines an empty ship value at the end. [req 1095]


A water trip with several hoppers.

In the case of a reverse water trip, the system only indicates that the minimum level difference inside/outside is sufficient as soon as this is the case for both hoppers separately and simultaneously. [req 1100]


Automatic completion of a water trip.

After all the conditions for completion of a water trip have been met, the system completes the water trip independently. It does not matter in which part of the user interface the user is located. [req 1237]

Searching for documents in the information tab returns duplicate results

When searching for documents in the information tab in the web portal, duplicate results are given. This has now been fixed and only unique results are shown. [def 2228]

Separation of locations.

In this version, the following functionalities related to the box separation are added.

  • A possibility is being built to be able to assign the client to the locations associated with the contract. [req 1282]

  • Improve insight into the assigned session location (where the most has been dredged) and the actual locations within the session. [req 1335]

  • Based on a percentage to be given, locations can be ignored and not shown. That is now an absolute number, so locations in which cargo is "lost" are also shown. By making the percentage a bandwidth, small amounts both positive and negative are not shown. [req 1605]

(Mainrequirement: 821)

Strange notification when requesting password change

If a user has not entered an e-mail address in the user data, and then tries to change the password, a message will follow that this cannot be done without further indication. This notification has been adjusted. The user will now be notified that the email address is missing. [def 2234]
