MRD is an Event to remember the Golden Age of Maritime Radio Communications and the role of Radio Officer who has been “erased” in the world of sea radio communications.

The date of MRD has been choosen to celebrate the sad disaster of RMS “TITANIC” where hundreds lives has been saved thanks to the first official use of the radio and to remember Chief Radio Officer Jack PHILLIPS who lost his life because of remaining  in contact with ships moving toward the TITANIC position until water came into the radio cabin.

The facts of TITANIC  aroused ‘ huge impression on public opinion and led to the convening of the first International Conference for the safety of life at sea. The RADIO starts, with this conference, to be on board all ships with the main objective of SAFETY.
