Port of Norderney, Maritime port in Norderney, Germany.

The Port of Norderney is a maritime facility on a North Sea island that operates two berths accommodating different vessel types. Ferries, cargo ships, rescue vessels, and dredgers anchor side by side at the quay.

The facility opened in 1871, establishing a permanent shipping connection between the East Frisian island and mainland Germany. Since its founding, the port has remained the central transportation hub for the island.

The port functions as a hub for local fishing activity, showing how maritime traditions continue alongside modern transport needs. Visitors can observe fishing boats moored next to ferries, illustrating the dual role of the waterfront in island life.

Ferries of the Norden-Frisia company run year-round from Norderney to Norddeich Mole, not to the town of Norden itself. Two car ferry berths, the north and south moles, serve the crossing; the south mole at berth 1 was rebuilt and reopened on 10 July 2024. A separate passenger bridge handles excursion boats to the neighbouring islands, the Wadden Sea and Heligoland.

The south mole at ferry berth 1 was rebuilt from April 2022 and inaugurated on 10 July 2024 by Lower Saxony's economics minister Olaf Lies. The new mole basin is 18 metres wide, three metres more than its predecessor, to give ferries more room to manoeuvre. The old structure dated from 1968 and replaced an 1892 landing stage.
