Tenders
Since the port at Heligoland will not accommodate the ferries, you debark into ships’ tenders to go ashore. This is loads of fun and, regardless of age, I imagine that most people have enough kid left in them to consider it to be the high point of the trip. Of course, there are no doubt some who would be more excited by the duty-free prices on alcohol, tobacco and cosmetics to be found in town.
Unfortunately for those travelers who enjoy the experience of going ashore in the ships' tenders, there is a plan to extend the wharf out into deep enough water to moor the ferries and load/unload passengers. The fishermen of Heligoland who have had the concession on piloting the tenders will need to find new employment.
