Unlike ocean barges, which are invariably pulled, the river barges are almost

My guess: purpose-built pushers may be less expensive than conventional tugs
and the big factor, much better maneuverability, i.e., easier and safer in
restricted river waters.
Just a guess, but the voting, on the rivers in the US as well, is clear:
pushers rule.
