The person was asking who pushes the barge Laviolette, no one pushes the Laviolette, she was supposed to haul raw sugar from Trois Rivieres, Quebec to Toronto, Ontario, when loaded the Laviolette acts like an untrained dog on a leash, according to an expert in ship handling. Canadian Explorer stern was from the M/V Cabot, removed and placed on the hull of the Canadian Transfer, therefore the Laviolette would not have had the rudder, or the wheel.
