That looks like one of the military landing craft that the army used:

Thank you. It seems strange that such a vessel would appear to be using the main dock area utilised by the ferries.

Would this have been normal?

Just guessing, but I can imagine soldiers travelling from Sham Shui Po to Central asking for a lift on a landing craft that was heading in that direction.
