Finland Transportation Profile 2012
Motor vehicles provide the principal means of transportation; the roads are located mainly in the south. Almost all of Finland's railways are state-owned and are also located mainly in the south. Lakes and rivers, icebound during the long winters, provide inland waterways of some 4,100 miles (6,600 km). The Saimaa Canal links Lake Saimaa with the Gulf of Finland by way of Vyborg, in Russia. The only international airport is at Helsinki. Helsinki and Kotka, both on the Gulf of Finland, are the chief ocean ports.
