After the loss of life on the Titanic ships were obliged to provide enough lifeboats for all passengers. I think there should be enough lifeboats for all on both sides. A ship normal tilts so you can launch boats from only one side.
The next major disaster I recall was the ferry Herald of free Enterprise. I believe rules were made about opening doors when in transit.
What lessons can be learned from the loss of life on the Korean ferry carrying schoolchildren? Most obviously to muster on deck. Maybe an automatic recorded message telling people to go on deck when ship lists?
Ropes along walls, and the ceilings, so you can pull yourself up the sides of the corridor when the ship tilts?
