The beam is definately 32M, that's listed all over the place. If the beam were 34.52M that would definately exclude it from the Panama Canal too as Panamax is 32.31M and the width of the locks (unless the rebuild has been completed) is 33.53M.

I was getting the draft from wiki for the Auriga Leader (which is the same class RoRo as the Altair Leader, same tonnage, length and beam, etc): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auriga_Leader

Obviously Wiki is wrong
