How much transfer time do I need between ferry and train in Travemünde?

I want to take the ferry from Malmö to Travemünde. How much transfer time do I need to plan for if I want to take the train from station "Skandinavienkai"?

The ferry I want to take is scheduled to arrive at 7:15. Is it reasonable to buy a ticket for the train leaving at 7:39?

Just from looking at a map of the area, my instinct is that this would be very tight. Probably doable with a taxi but not likely on foot is my rough assessment of the matter.

However, a more important question is, does it matter? What sort of train journey are you making? If it is a relatively local one (within Schleswig-Holstein, or to Hamburg) it is quite likely that the ticket you are looking at is a low, local fare which does not tie you to any particular train, and so it would not matter from a ticket booking perspective if you missed the train you were aiming for. On the other hand if you're making a longer-distance journey this probably would matter.
