Ninety-eight people remain unaccounted for following the fire on a Greek ferry in the Adriatic Sea, an Italian official says.
At least 13 people died in the disaster, including two tugboat sailors trying to secure the ship.
It is not clear if the people unaccounted for ever boarded the Norman Atlantic ferry, if they were rescued or if they died in the fire or the sea.
It took two days to rescue around 400 people from the ship - but the exact number of survivors is still not known.
As the search for bodies continues, Italian authorities have expressed concern about the accuracy of the passenger manifest which has left them unclear about how many people were aboard.
Dramatic footage has also emerged of the view from the deck as the fire took hold on Sunday.
It shows thick smoke billowing up from the deck and bursts of flames as a helicopter hovers overhead.
Among the survivors are four Britons, including showjumper Nick Channing-Williams, who was with his Greek fiancee Regina Theofilli.
Mr Channing-Williams told Sky News he was woken at about 5am on Sunday by a fire alarm.
He said: "By the time we got out on deck the flames were huge. A lot of the cars were on fire. It was actually just very scary to be honest."
