Moving the panel is a good start. Looks like you are going to be there all month.
If you don't think too good, don't think too much.
If I installed the new panel under the steam line would it still be considered inside the space

So if that steamline were 6 foot 7inches off the floor and the panel is mounted underneath it then I would be in the clear correct

110.26(E)-Dedicate equipment space is the space above the panel, the width and depth of the panel and up to 6 feet above the panel or to the structural ceiling (whichever is lower), and cannot anything other than that which is dedicated to the electrical installation (cables, raceways, etc.).
110.26(A)(1) through (3)- Clear working space is the space in front of the panel, 30 inches wide by 36 inches deep and 6.5 feet high, and this space cannot contain anything else.
If the steam pipe is in either of the above spaces, it would be a violation.
My review of the photo tells me that the steam line is not directly over the panel. So you would not have a problem with dedicated space. It then would come down to whether the steam line is at least 6.5 feet above the floor.
