That's not true on the SF bay. Tugs with barges have stand on.

Not knowing the area, I have a couple of comments.
I'm not sure you were stand on, given that if there is
any doubt about draft constraint. Also, a tug and
a barge have status in most cases, but again, I don't
know the area.
The tow has no special status unless it declares itself a RAM (Restricted
Ability to Maneuver) and displays the appropraite lights in addition to
the tow
lights..
