The number of people who died after a ferry caught fire off Corfu in the Adriatic Sea is unclear.
Italian Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi said a definitive figure could not be given because of several factors.
There are gaps in information about people who had booked but who did not eventually travel and about people who disembarked during a stopover earlier in the journey.
Some of those rescued were not on the ship's passenger list.
Ten people are known to have died after the Norman Atlantic caught fire early on Sunday.
The blaze is thought to have started on the car deck of the ferry while it was making its way from Patras in Greece to Ancona on the east coast of Italy, the Greek Coast Guard has said.
Yesterday, rescue teams completed the evacuation of 427 people from the ferry, working through the night and defying high seas and freezing weather in a 36-hour drama.
Some 45 passengers were flown back to Greece yesterday on a military plane after being rescued by boat and taken to Bari, Italy.
One unidentified woman was asking an officer what happened to the other survivors as, although she was told in Italy that her husband was rescued, she had no idea where he was.
"It's my husband I am telling you. He was one of the last to leave. He was still there around noon time."
Other passengers said the crew was inexperienced.
"We had to improvise. The crew were in total panic," an unidentified rescued passenger said.
The injured evacuees who arrived in Italy were being treated in various facilities in southern Italian cities.
