Winter Storm Elli Shuts Down Most East Frisian Island Ferries Friday

Strong easterly winds are lowering water levels, making ferry operations unsafe.

Overview

  • Langeoog will halt all Friday sailings between the island and the mainland due to forecast gale-force gusts, severe snowfall and low water.
  • On Wangerooge, the DB-operated service has canceled two planned trips in each direction, leaving no ship access to the island on Friday.
  • No ferries will run to or from Spiekeroog and Juist on Friday, and Norden-Frisia escalated Norderney’s plan from early-morning cuts to a full-day suspension.
  • Baltrum-Linie intends to operate a single Friday afternoon departure each way, with all other crossings canceled.
  • AG Ems reports some Emden–Borkum services canceled on Friday, and operators advise travelers to check schedules for updates.
