I had this same issue just now. Very frustrating after spending 90 mins on the campaign to be unable to progress. Had to resort to a cheat code, was not going to start it all over again.

Disembarking is bugged at the moment, this affects some campaign scenarios :frowning: The team is working on it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is it possible to build a dock and ships to destroy the transport ships from Demetrius as a work around?

I tried to. You cannot build docks at most parts of the coast, there is only one spot to build a dock at blue’s eastern base. But even then you cannot attack the transport ships, only the towers are attackable.

Damn, I understand, why they did that (so you cannot exploit the mission), but now the workaround doesn’t work^^ So we have to wait for the next patch.

Well, I somehow managed to “shove” away the ships with warships. When they got near the edge of the map the game deleted the transport ships. After that pink was defeated and mission completed.
