Helgoland : Profile

Clearance

Note: This is not a Port of Entry into Germany.

Docking

Lying 45 m north of the mainland, in the area known as the German Bight, Helgoland consists of two islands. It is a tax-free region and also, due to its clean air and mild climate, a health and holiday resort. Cars are not normally allowed on the island. The first one was a police car in January 2006.

The harbour provides good protection but can get very crowded in the season. It is possible, with permission from Port Control, to anchor in the SW part of Vorhafen.
