A vessel to push, roughly? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'a vessel' is the first definition.
(barge is a kind of vessel)

'push roughly?' is the second definition.
'barge' can be an answer for 'push' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'roughly?' bit.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barge that I've seen before include "Canal-boat" , "Long boat for freight" , "Canal boat, towed along (5)" , "Roughly push one's way" , "Move forcefully" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
