Quota

Ensure fair internet
usage for seafarers

Each crew member can keep track their data allowance directly on their device using our app. Data can be distributed based on volume, time, or by allowance set per day, week or month. 

Devices

Track data usage on
multiple devices

Each seafarer can use several devices on board, such as a smartphone, tablet and laptop. Dualog Quota controls data usage on all devices and shows the remaining allowance.

Time control

Promote a healthy
work-life balance​

You can add a time restriction on the crew’s Starlink or other provider. A time limit helps the most eager seafarers avoid using all their data bandwidth right away. You can also set time limits, securing the right balance between business needs and crew welfare.

Purchase

Sell additional quota

You can create price-lists for carriers, vessels and groups of users. Configure the free quota limit in MBs per day/week or month. If the free allowance has been spent, users can buy more data through our app or the slop chest. 

Reports

View data usage reports

Monitor real-time data and protect onboard users from unexpected quota overuse. Generate reports based on date, volume quota usage, users, user groups, ships, providers and transaction amounts. You can export each report to a CSV file.

online experience.

App

App for crew

Track Internet usage
in real time

to use onboard

Now, crew can use Starlink for activities such as video streaming or choose VSAT for lower-demand tasks.

Top up data with
full self-service

Users can buy more data directly in the app, no need to contact IT or the captain.

Network Control

Separate networks

Centrally Managed Rules

Block, restrict and allow e-mail, web browsing, instant messaging, VoIP and file downloads.

Access Control

Control access and usage rights per network, computer, user group, or individual user on the ship. 

Allow-lists & Deny-lists

Block specific network traffic to reduce exposure to undesirable or high risk internet services.

Cost Control

Route network traffic to the most suitable carrier based on bandwidth availability, priority and cost.

Automatic Failover

Automatically select the best and most appropriate available carrier. The service seamlessly switches between carriers with fleet-wide prioritisation.
