CAIRO — The head of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), Lt. Gen. Osama Rabie, recently said that the authority is ready for all possible scenarios resulting from the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine and their impact on global navigation.
In an interview with Ahmed Moussa, a journalist close to the Egyptian government, on the Sada al-Balad TV channel on Feb. 15, Rabie added that the SCA is prepared for any developments in case of war breaking out between the two countries. He underlined the SCA’s previous successful experiences in dealing with major crises such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stranded Ever Given container ship that blocked the Suez Canal last year.
