If container ships instead sail around the southern tip of Africa on the way between Asia and Europe, the journey can take a week longer, and the detour also causes additional fuel costs amounting to hundreds of thousands of euros.

Ikea stated that it was in close contact with the transport companies and that the safety of the workforce was the top priority. “In the meantime, we are examining other delivery options to ensure the availability of our products and we will continue to monitor the situation closely,” the group said.
