Type 903 Comprehensive Supply Ship of the PLA Navy

The Type 903 series are the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s primary ocean-going replenishment vessels, consisting of the standard variant and upgraded Type 903A. They deliver comprehensive replenishment supplies including fuel, fresh water, provisions and ordnance to open-ocean task groups.

The warship measures roughly 178 meters in overall length, with a full-load displacement exceeding 20,000 tons and a maximum speed of 19 knots. It supports high-efficiency replenishment via alongside, astern and vertical transfer modes. A helicopter landing platform is fitted on board, enabling three-dimensional resupply operations with transport helicopters.

Boasting strong self-sustaining capability and superior seaworthiness, these ships can escort flotillas on long-distance voyages, anti-piracy patrols and joint military exercises. They have been persistently deployed to far-sea waters such as the Gulf of Aden. As a critical logistical backbone, they underpin the PLAN’s deep-blue expansion and sustain long-range combat and mission operations.
