In 1908, as director of fisheries, he founded the committee for the establishment of the Cuxhaven seaman's mission, which set up a seaman's home for the fishing port of Cuxhaven .

After the First World War he managed to quickly resume port operations in 1918/19. Then Duge took over the office of fisheries director in Hamburg. He returned to Cuxhaven in 1922 after his retirement. His successor in Cuxhaven was Johann Meinken (1881–1941) in 1919.
