The project owner is Umeå Hamn AB and the project can be partially financed via Västerbotten County Transport Plan. Efforts within the project aim to increase the capacity for sea traffic and increase the possibilities for smooth and cost-effective transitions between the different transport teams by sea-rail. The new land infrastructure that the project will result in will, together with the new ferry, tie together the E12 route and form the basis for an upgraded and sustainable transport link. This is assessed, among other things, to contribute to changed transport patterns in the area, increase in travel and freight transport, a more environmentally friendly transport option, the growth of the business sector and increased cultural and social exchange in the region.
