Suez Canal Organization

The equipment of navigation control posts are considered ready.

Ship movement, collective monitoring & data logining system does not control navigation and has no impact on safety of ships, but it is useful in keeping the historical information of the voyage of such ships.

That means the navigation on Suez Canal is completely secure from Y2K and all other Equipment will be compliant by the end of August.

There is contingency plan for emergency for emergency situation.

Central Bank (ECB)

All ECB systems (Banking) Accounting and statistical programs & systems were tested. They proved compliant systems under work circumstances of the year 2000.

Bank Association

All banks are now ready and implementing the Y2K compliant system. Now all banks are documenting and exercising the contingency plans

Health Care Sector

-All the IT system are ready.

-More than 90% of the medical care devices ( Embedded systems ) are reported to be ready by the device vendors.

-The reported non-compliant medical care devices will be used under contingency environment.

Water &Waist -Water Sector

-All the IT system are ready.

-The water purification, Anti-contamination storage and pumping are non-date sensitive.

-Monitoring systems ( SCADA - system ) does not affect the water supply and its remediation is in progress.
