European route E12

European route E12 is a road part of the International E-road network. It begins in Mo i Rana, Norway and ends in Helsinki, Finland, with a ferry line between Sweden and Finland. The part within Finland is Finnish national highway 3. The road is about 910 km (570 mi) in length.

The road follows the route Mo i Rana – Storuman – Lycksele – Umeå – Holmsund – "(ferry)" – Vaasa – Tampere – Hämeenlinna – Helsinki

The ferry line has one departure per day. It risks being cancelled because a commercial company operates it, and it is unprofitable because of low passenger figures. There is no government support, only domestic connections can get it, since it is a principle especially in Sweden that international travel should not be supported by tax payers.
