The Langeooger harbor was built in the years 1937-1941. In 1951, a new landing stage in the western part of the harbor was built to replace the East Pier, which is located in the Tide-independent docks. In 1978, a lifting bridge was added. The ferry service has been tide-independent since a port was expanded in 1976, so ferry times do not change daily, only distinguishing between a summer and a winter timetable. The journey time from Bensersiel is about 30 minutes. Due to the tide independence and the increasing construction of second homes, the passenger traffic increased considerably in the second half of the 1970s. Therefore, in 1979, the two passenger vessels Langeoog III and Langeoog IV were purchased, each of which can accommodate 800 people. Today, the shipping company of the island community of Langeoog operates four passenger ships (Langeoog I, II, III and IV) as well as two freight ferries (Pioneer and Uncle Otto).
