If I might add, the Malay news reports appear to be calling it "jambatan ANGKAT" not ANGKUT

Jambatan angkut is transporter bridge, but jambatan angkat or jambatan tarik is drawbridge. It's a fine line between angkut and angkat! http://prpmv1.dbp.gov.my/Search.aspx?k=drawbridge

: A transporter bridge is a type of movable bridge that carries a segment of roadway across a river. The design has been used to cross navigable rivers or other bodies of water, where there is a requirement for ship traffic to be able to pass. -Wiki

: Sorry May, but this video shows (at 1:19) a drawbridge i.e. bridge is lifted up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-V-0XLxnVg. A transporter bridge moves across to transport the traffic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporter_bridge

Hi Bashir, thank you for your input. According to DBP, a drawbridge is "jambatan angkat" or "jambatan tarik", while the term "jambatan angkut" is transporter bridge. Fine line between angkat & angkut! http://prpmv1.dbp.gov.my/Search.aspx?k=drawbridge
