These barges are tied to tree at bow and are also secured by steel cable looped over one of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitts" rel="nofollow">bitts</a> on nearest barge, but their sterns were swinging out into river, so "Matt S" is pushing them closer to riverbank so they can be better secured.
