Radio Holland celebrates its 100th anniversary
Radio Holland celebrated its 100th anniversary on Tuesday aboard the historic ship SS Rotterdam in the Port of Rotterdam.

The company was founded in 1916 in Amsterdam as "Nederlandsche Telegraaf Maatschappij Radio-Holland” by a group of Dutch shipowners. The centenary of the company was marked with the publication of the book “A Century Radio Holland, 1916-2016” and the Mayor of Rotterdam, Ing. A. Aboutaleb was presented with the first copy at the celebration on Tuesday.

: "Radio Holland is 100 years young! We have a rich history, full of unique moments and milestones. At the same time we always look ahead. For example with developments and innovations in remote monitoring, connectivity and ICT onboard. Our aim is to help our customers to manage their operations as efficient, safe and effective as possible,” said Radio Holland ceo Paul Smulders.

“Today was a unique day. It is also the start of our anniversary year. A year in which we will celebrate our anniversary at various moments and events around the world.  Radio Holland is a renowned company, I am convinced there is no one in the maritime industry who does not know Radio Holland. We are very proud of this feat."
