Whenever I'm researching an incident like this, the best possible source is almost always the official government report. In this case, I was incredibly fortunate to find that the report had been translated into English.

In case you'd like to look it over, here's a link to the report as a PDF. It tells the story of the incident in a level of technical detail that I could never match. 

Of course, there have been several investigations over the years into what happened on board the Scandinavian Star. Once you're read the official government report, I'd also recommend this one, which was carried out by a fire protection agency, and gives some more detail on the suspicious elements of the fire.

The Scandinavian Star Disaster | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

On the 7th of April, 1990, the MS Scandinavian Star – a passenger and vehicle ferry – was on its way from Oslo in Norway to Frederikshavn in Denmark, when a fire began on board. At the time, the ship carried 395 passengers and 97 crew. Approximately one third of the people on board would not live to see the morning… an extremely high death toll which, it was found, could be attributed in large part to the dilapidated and ill-maintained state of the ship. 00:00 - Intro 00:46 - History of the Scandinavian Star 02:01 - The Fire 05:48 - The Aftermath I tell the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters... but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past.
