@tupsumato You are free to call a towboat a pusher if you like, the same as you can call your driveway a parkway. It is always best to use common terminology to avoid confusion.
ehm.... not really a beautifull piece on engineering :-) Looks like a floating skyscraper. And isn't this a pushing boat instead of a tug? A tug tows things, and this only pushes....
@dusky233fc kinda what you'd call more overkill by the federal government?

So, a tugboat tows barges and a towboat... pushes them?
I prefer to use the term "pusher" :>
