This seems to be the typical american pusher tug which circumvents regulations. As one can see, this tug alone she would perform poorly. But with a barge in front of her, she lifts herself virtually into the back of the barge and sits there tight in a rim. She will not disconnect at sea to my knowledge and tow, she stays in the back. The advantage they are registered as puh tug and need a rather small crew which pushes then a 50.000 ton or bigger barge,, both units in one as a ship would require under american rules a huge crew, unpayable to compete.

Nearly 45% under the waterline.

The main engines have to be fitted in the larger part of the hull. But how do they transmit the torque to the propellers. Is this a diesel-electric with the e.motors located inside the torpedos?
