Whats the ship at the bottom of the YJ-12 list, Type 055?
YJ-11?
Nope, the Y-11 in this image is referring to the Yu-11 which I think is similar to the Russian RPK series or American ASROCs.
This is further supported by the shortening of the Yu-8 to Y-8 in the bottom left which is a more well known anti-submarine missile used by the PLAN.
Ah that makes more sense. I was wondering what that was about.
Type 051B I think.
This image miss two types of new AShM:
YJ-83 with new dual infrared and radar seekers:

And YJ-62 with an additional IR seeker.
A YJ-62(S) being launched from DDG 150 Changchun. It appears to feature dual seekers (radar + infrared).

as long as the ship is China flagged, it is OK. the merchant marine is considered a part of military logistics if it refuses foreign military orders in any way. in addition, it would allow the vast inventory of container ships to be PLAN missile batteries that launch long ranged missiles either at fixed targets or under direction of offboard assets.
