Mohab Mamish, head of the navy since 2007, made the move on the order of new President Mohamed Morsy. Mamish takes over from Ahmed Fadel, who was appointed by former President Hosni Mubarak to secure the passage of U.S. troops through the canal during the American-led invasion of Iraq.
According to reports, since President Anwar Sadat reopened the Suez Canal in 1975, the canal authority has been chaired by retired naval commanders or deputy commanders. Mamish commanded the military unit responsible for the security of ships navigating the canal.
