"On 10 October of this year, a fire broke out on the ‘Lisco Gloria’ as it sailed from Kiel to Klaipėda. Although no lives were lost, the accident highlighted the huge problems of ensuring the safety of people travelling by ferry. Information provided by those involved shows that the ferry’s crew were not prepared for a rescue and passengers had to look after each other. Furthermore, the number of passengers rescued was higher than that recorded in the official passenger list, which raises serious concerns about ensuring general passenger safety and the possible threat of terrorism. Following 11 September, great attention in the European Union was paid to the safety of passengers travelling by plane. This accident has highlighted the fact that a similar system of control needs to apply to ships as that which applies to aircraft and that there must be continual independent proficiency testing, both of vessels’ technical condition and the staff responsible for passenger safety."@en1
