A very colorful tug and barge. What tug is that?

I do not know. :-)

Except for the "tower" it looks just like a normal tug.
But here it's pushing rather than pulling...
I assume that it can do both.

This type of "tug" is very common on the Hudson River
for moving large barges (from New York Bay to Albany
and vicinity).

I must admit that the one on the picture did look quite
spiffy and neat with its obviously new paint job. :-)
