German liner landings need logistics planning

Could Germany use ocean liners to land troops in France in a 1914 alternate-history scenario?

Liners might move and unload people quickly, but the hard part would be equipment, supplies, port arrangements, and the wider logistics plan.

Ocean liners could put troops ashore quickly if they carried suitable davits and boats. Pontoons and walkways could then move men from the boats to land. Heavy equipment and supplies would be much harder to unload and sustain. Any amphibious version of the Schlieffen Plan would therefore need the same advance preparation that Germany devoted to railways and land logistics.
