Well the beam does have to be equal or less than Panamax standards.. that's factual information not really a guess. Wiki does seem to have the draft right but all sources agree that the beam is 32M, not 34M. 32M is within Panamax standards.
34M draft would be MASSIVE. The largest supertanker in the world has a 24M draft (well had, it's since been turned into scrap) so after looking into it it seems obvious that the Wikipedia draft is very far off.
Other 199Mx32M car carriers seem to have a draft of 9.8M which matches other info posted here and is well within Panamax standards.
So they do not need to go around SA. I took Jack's world combined with Wiki and was wrong, should have read up on car carriers more
