In the end of January 2006, Metsähallitus cleared snow from the roads leading to logged areas in Nellim, Haippakotavaara and Kessi. During February, several trucks have transported the logs to railway stations in Lapland and to a temporary storage area in Ivalo.

Railway terminals in Kolari and Rovaniemi are owned jointly by Metsähallitus, Metsäliitto and StoraEnso. These stations supply both Metsä-Botnia mills in Kemi and StoraEnso mills in Kemi.

StoraEnso claims that company is not since November 2005 being supplied from disputed areas.

Trains carrying wood from conflict areas have been labeled to Metsä-Botnia mill in Kemi.

Metsä-Botnia produces market pulp and pulp for paper mills of UPM and M-Real. Kemi is Botnia’s biggest market pulp mill. The share of export of the production is 35 %, and the main market areas are the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and France. The Kemi mill is specialised in the production of pulp suited for tissue paper and specialty paper manufacture.

Metsä-Botnia claims to be committed to environmental and social responsibility. Now Metsä-Botnia is buying wood that has been logged from the last old-growth forests in Finland, violating the human rights of the indigenous Sami people.
