Total numbers of Chinese landing ship fleet?

When talking about ships and craft for landing, usually people count only the big stuff. And concentrate on PLAN.

But PLA also has a sizable fleet of small landing ships, and even PLAAF for some reason has some ships.

Is there a source which tries to list them in detail?

I am particularly interested in service status and current numbers of following types:
067 class
069 class
271 class
Mystery new small landing ship with pennant number ND001

First two should be few in numbers as they're old. 271 has had many variants over the years and seems to be being built even today, probably to replace some of the oldest previous classes.

I am really having trouble discerning whether total numbers of those mentioned classes is a dozen or two or well over a hundred.

Also, if there are some other classes of small landing ships that i've missed here, please point them out to me.

Now this nifty landing craft can carry 2 MBT or armored vehicle with no problem. I guess they are testing it ! Can it cross the strait by itself without being transported by mother ship After all the Taiwan strait is only 120 km?

Where did you get the information that it can carry two main battle tanks "with no problem"?

In this case, I agree with @by78 , the ability to carry 2 MBTs is a big claim and needs to be backed up by appropriate sources.

It's obvious to me it can carry two.

The deck space is big enough for 2 tanks, but we don't know if the landing crafts's propulsion power and buoyancy is able to carry 2 tanks to the beach, and with desired speed unless there is a visual evidence.

We need to wait for more photo and information.

If propulsion power and buoyancy are not enough, what does that make of that shipyard? I don't need to wait for any OCD.

Then it may mean that the LCU itself is not designed to carry two MBTs, but perhaps is designed to just carry a single MBT.

I would say, that based on the size of this LCU, it is probably only able to carry a single fully combat ready MBT.
Keep in mind, this LCU is similar in size to ships like EDA-S with a max load of 80t and nominal 65t, or the MSV-L with a max load of 82t.

The LCU might be able to carry two fully loaded ZTQ-15s.

But a proper 60t MBT? I suspect it can carry only one.

Either 1 MBT, or 2 light tanks? Since the ZTQ-15 should be light enough.

Edit: Sorry, I missed out that ZTQ-15 in Blitzo's post. Has been feeling very sleepy.

... Yes that's what I wrote in that post as a possibility.
