<p>The invention relates to a combination of a pusher tug and one or more barge units each of which may comprise one barge, or two or more barges coupled alongside each other. Between these units and/or between the rear-unit and the pusher tug pivotable pushing means are installed giving the combination an articulated character. Each of the pushing means is only mounted to one of the units or to the pusher tug and is coupled to the opposite unit with usual means, such as steel wires. The pushing means are robust and easy to handle by the normal deck crew. Application of the pushing means increases the safety of pushing traffic on waterways and allows the inclusion of more units per combination.</p> |
