Future project launched with no impact on island supplies

17.03.2026

WANGEROOGE Works to modernise the island supply port at Wangerooge Harbour began in March 2026. The measures form part of an overall project to upgrade the port infrastructure on the island. “Dismantling the existing pile structures at the jetty marks the starting signal for our future-focused project on Wangerooge,” says Anja Bokeloh of the Norden branch of NPorts. “This will be followed by the creation of an open area to prepare for the subsequent construction activities. In the next step, the site will undergo an unexploded ordnance survey before a sheet-pile wall is installed along the dune. There will be no impact on island supplies or ferry services. “The pier will remain accessible during the current construction phase and the island railway will run as normal,” emphasises Bokeloh. “Especially with the Easter holidays in mind, we have organised our operations in such a way that passengers can travel safely and without restrictions from the ship to the railway and back.”
