After reconstruction, depth of water in Suez Canal will permit passage of vessels with draft of up to 35 ft, but width of canal at level of ship bottom only allows about 60 ft between hull and canal walls, which affects ship stability; to study performance of supertanker, section of canal has been duplicated and self-propelled model of new supertankers building for Standard Oil Co (NJ) affiliates is used in tests; canal model is 600 ft long, and 20-ft model represents 77,000-ton dw, 855-ft long tanker.
