The alarms were sounded and a mayday distress signal was put out. The crew,
the captain, and some of the passengers were eventually evacuated to safety. Sadly,
there were many who didn’t make it out alive.
An investigation was launched into the reasons why so many passengers were
not safely evacuated. It was suggested that many of the passengers never heard the
alarm due to oversights in the layout of the alarm system. It was also proposed that
additional panic was created due to the inappropriately trained crew and that the
design of deck 5 was illogical in layout, making it much harder to find emergency
exits, especially in thick smoke.
What was intended as a vessel to provide a relaxing holiday ended up as a
tragedy where 158 people — 30 percent of passengers — lost their lives. 136 of those
who lost their lives on board were Norwegian.
The ship had experienced other fires prior to this major one. It first caught fire
in 1985 when a deep-fryer malfunctioned, and then in 1988 two fires were reported:
one the engine room and one caused by a broken lubrication pipe.
The ship was again sold, repaired and renamed several more times before being
taken in 2004 to Gujarat, India, where she was scrapped. A memorial in honor of all
those that died on board the Scandinavian Star, unveiled on April 7th, 2006, was
erected near Akershus Fortress in Oslo.
