The main channels of the canal are dredged to a depth of about 66 feet (20 meters), and the navigational width between buoys is set at 596 feet (180 meters). Double channels, where ships traveling in opposite directions can pass without stopping, have been constructed at four locations and cover a little more than 41 miles (67 kilometers). The largest ships allowed to pass through the canal may have a beam of up to 210 feet (64 meters) wide and a draught (below-water depth) of up to 53 feet (16 meters).

Kilo is roughly 13m tall so I guess it could submerge but it would fit like Rosie O' Donnel in lycra shorts.
