Thanks Kommer and Capt. Ted for your comments

@KOMMER
THAT IS CORRECT, in simpler form one can see that often assembled on the front barge on the Mississippi River when power full tugs pushing 40 barges and more upstream, a ECHOSOUNDER

person

Yes i have an idea of what it is, the metal post secured to the bow is a sonar for hydro-graphic survey, by the looks of it the tug has been contracted out to survey the river bed, say for an underwater obstruction or measuring the depth of the channel.
hope this helps Pilot Frans.
