Bob, I transited Suez Northbound a few years ago on a cruise and I asked a similar question. From memory I think the max draft is in the region of 65 feet and the max beam about 165 feet, there is no restriction on length as far as I can remember. I sailed on a VLCC with very similar dimensions in the early 70s and she was 215,000 dwt so that might give you a clue.
