The Christian Nehls class is a series of four icebreakers for the Hamburg Port Authority .

They should be able to break ice up to 35 centimeters thick and ensure shipping in the Port of Hamburg even in winter. In the ice-free period, they can also be used as port tugs and for transport tasks. The icebreakers are powered by a MAN 2842LE412 diesel engine , which operates with 588  kW on a four-blade fixed propeller.
