Following the Titanic disaster, the first ever International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea was held. These are some of the recommendations that came out of that meeting:

1. Creation of the International Ice Patrol to monitor icebergs;
2. Separate frequency for distress signals and messages;
3. Universal adoption of the distress call S.O.S.;
4. 24-hour radio watch on all ships carrying 50 or more passengers;
5. Shipping lanes shifted farther south;
6. Steamships now carry search lights;
7. Passenger ships must carry enough lifeboats to hold everyone on board;
8. Lifeboat drills must now be conducted by both passengers and crew.
