Zum Aufgabengebiet des Bootes gehören die Uferunterhaltung, die Überwachung der Fahrrinnentiefe und das Auslegen, Einholen und Warten von Schifffahrtszeichen. Ausgerüstet mit Linienecholot und Seitensichtsonar, kann die MS "Freiburg" Hindernisse in der Fahrrinne aufspüren. Es verfügt über eine Schubbühne und ist auch als Eisbrecher einsetzbar, was an seinem Breisacher Standort wohl kaum notwendig werden dürfte.
