The Oder-class (also Or icebreaker ) is a series of seven icebreakers that for the GDR - inland waterways were built.

General

The ships were designed for use in icebreakers on the Oder . The type ship was delivered in 1957 by VEB Schiffswerft Dresden Übigau and the following units from Ernst Thälmann Werft in Brandenburg an der Havel .

The ice-reinforced hull is made of steel and divided into eight compartments by seven bulkheads . The original drive consisted of a type 6 NVD 48 marine diesel engine from VEB Schwermaschinenbau "Karl Liebknecht" , which operated on a fixed propeller . With a drive power of 397  kW , a cruising speed of 13  km / h was achieved. As part of conversions and modernizations, the drive motors were also replaced, so that the class does not have a uniform motorization today.

The Odereisbreakers are equipped with towing gear and are also used as tugs in the ice-free season .

units

The icebreakers were initially used by VEB Binnenreederei Berlin and in the 1970s they were subordinated to the Eberswalde Waterways Authority. After the reunification of Germany , all units were taken over by the Eberswalde Waterways and Shipping Office .
