push navigation

bron: Lexicon Scheepvaart & Transport [Kluijven]
duwvaart = push navigation; duwboot = pushboat, pushing boat

Technisch Woordenboek Scheeps- Regel- Installatietecniek [Delévaque] geeft 'push-tow navigation', en voor duwboot 'pusher tug' met als synoniemen 'pusher boat', 'pusher', push-boat', 'pushing tug'.

Ik zou het zelf houden op 'push navigation'.

push tugs

A slight variation on Jack's answer. I think the word 'tugs' could be used here instead of 'navigation'. It's a clearer expression of what kind of vessels are involved.

I did not know this dictionary, and I'll check it out!

I must say that all this information is readily available on the Internet if you are at least slightly familiar with the terminology involved.
