Quota (Dualog) vs iVSP

The Dualog Quota app helps crew manage their internet access onboard in a secure, fair, and user-friendly way. Quota replaces Dualog’s Crew Connection app, which was previously used to manage internet quotas onboard. With a modern, mobile-friendly design, Quota makes it easier than ever for the crew to stay in control. What you can do with the Quota app: - Track your usage in real time See how much data or time you’ve used, how much is left, and get daily breakdowns by carrier like Starlink, VSAT, or 4G. - Use the internet across all your devices Manage access on multiple devices under the same account. Works smoothly on mobile and tablet via the app, or on desktop through the web interface. - Top up when you need to Run out of your free allowance? Buy more data directly in the app, no need to ask IT or the captain. - Stay in control with data-saving features Get alerts when usage is high and tips for reducing consumption, so you don’t run out unexpectedly. - Enjoy hassle-free logins The app detects the ship’s Wi-Fi automatically, making logins faster and more reliable. Built for the realities of ship life The service works with any internet provider or carrier, requires no local admin for everyday use, and integrates with Dualog’s proven internet control and security tools. Reliable and fair internet access is now an essential part of crew welfare. With Quota, you gain more transparency, more control, and the freedom to stay connected with family and friends, while helping ship operators keep networks secure and costs under control.

The iVSP app allows users to steer ships equipped with Voith propulsion systems, in particular Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP). These are real ships of various types: Voith Water Tractors (tugs), double-ended ferries, offshore vessels, and yachts. iVSP also provides a deeper insight into the mechanics and hydrodynamics of the Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) and its unique propeller forces. The VSP enables the fastest generation of thrust in all directions – stepless and precisely. VSPs combine propulsion, steering, and roll stabilization in a single unit, eliminating the need for rudders. Thrust and steering forces can be generated in any direction from zero to maximum. The Voith Schneider Propeller generates thrust by means of profiled blades that protrude from the ship's bottom and rotate around a vertical axis. The blades are mounted in a rotor casing that is flush with the ship's bottom. The rotational movement of the blades around the common vertical axis is superimposed by a local oscillatory movement of the individual propeller blades around their own axis. This oscillatory movement is generated by a kinematic mechanism (kinematics). The Voith Schneider Propeller is based on an idea by Austrian inventor Ernst Schneider, and its effectiveness was first successfully demonstrated in model tests in 1926. The development potential of the VSP is far from exhausted, and Voith engineers are continuously working to further improve its efficiency. In addition, the company is constantly developing new applications for various types of ships for this unique propulsion system. Suggestions for the application and further improvement of the VSP are always welcome. The relevant contact details for Voith can be found in the main menu of iVSP.
