Estimated Obsolescence
Technological: 3 –- 5 years
Legislative: 2 –- 3 years
The potential exists that the equipment supplied during construction may be
obsolete before completion of the project
Estimated Obsolescence
Technological: 3 –- 5 years
Legislative: 2 –- 3 years
Operators must budget for the possibility that DP, VMS or any other electronic
control system may require replacement with five years of a vessel entering
service.

The Morris Worm is estimated to have infected some 6000 computers and brought the Internet
to a virtual standstill
It is estimated to have cost $96 million
What would be the effect if it happened today ?

SUMMARY
Equipment obsolescence may dramatically reduce the projected operating life of a DP System
High profile Operating Systems are at greater risk of exposure to malware
Use of standard media, removable or fixed, and remote operation, increases risk of malware migration.
Equipment ObsolescenceHigh Stock levels of spare parts
Flexibility in Spatial Design
Industry Inventory
Strategic Budgeting
