A method for loading and unloading a barge (40), and a mechanism for coupling a pusher (30) with a barge by means of coupling units (10) provided on either side of the pusher (30). To allow loading and unloading of the barge (40), the pusher is coupled with the barge by means of slides (34) and vertical guides (33) comprised in the coupling mechanism, which allow the height position of the barge to change freely in relation to the pusher. After completion of the loading or unloading process, the pushpins (11) of the coupling units (10) of the pusher are locked in coupling sockets (25) or holes in the coupling plates (32) of the barge.
