Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have stepped up attacks on ships on the Suez Canal in recent days. The rebels are understood to be targeting ships using the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with the pro-Hamas group seeking to disrupt ships set for Israel.
Major shipping companies such as MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM have already paused container shipments through the area due to the surge in attacks.
Now Ikea has warned of delays and shortages to some products as the budget furniture maker looks to find an alternative route for its cargo vessels.
