Shuiqiao barges have long road bridges measuring up to 120 m ( 394 ft) extending from their bows.

The bridges act as a floating, retractable pier that could be used to rapidly unload tanks, fighting vehicles, heavy equipment or troops from ships on to enemy shores.

They may also allow Beijing ’s forces to bypass beach defences or to reach beaches previously considered unsuitable for amphibious landings.
