Suez Canal Authority (SCA) is an Egyptian state-owned authority which owns, operates and maintains the Suez Canal. It was set up by the Egyptian government to replace the Suez Canal Company in the 1950s which resulted in the Suez Crisis. After the United Nations intervened, the three invading countries (France, Israel, and the United Kingdom) were forced to withdraw.
