If they can keep afloat, they are going to need calm calm equatorial seas to tow her through. Choppy seas will swamp her due to the potential for holes in her side just above the waterline, and also likely because the fire has changed her ballast characteristics.

These big ro-ro vessels are known to be prone to roll over in choppy seas if not balanced properly when loaded.

Who knows how much the balance characteristics have changed internally with melting steel and a list to the right side now present for several days.
