UTC Fire & Security Imarest Marine Partner
UTC Fire & Security is the latest company to become a member of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology’s (IMarEST) Marine Partner initiative. The Marine Partner initiative is a global scheme that provides tailor-made benefits for organizations of all sizes to work more closely with the Institute and enables Institute members to easily access information on leading products, services and solutions.
“Our marine fire and safety products offer a complete, one-stop solution for an entire ship whether it is a cruise liner, LNG carrier or naval vessel,” explains Brian Rodricks, Marine Business Development Director of UTC Fire & Security. “Individually, our products are technology leaders – from the Marioff HI-FOGR high pressure water-mist system which is fitted on nearly every modern cruise liner, to Kidde’s fire extinguishing systems, Autronica’s fire and gas detection systems, Onity’s electronic locks and energy management systems, just to name a few brand leaders.
“Our fire safety and electronic security systems and services are the first choice of millions of customers around the world. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide vessel operators with products and solutions that are compliant with the latest SOLAS regulations and the relevant marine approvals.”
“It is most rewarding to see our Marine Partners initiative growing apace and attracting companies providing global services such as UTC Fire & Security. We welcome them and look forward to working with them,” says Dr Marcus Jones, Chief Executive of IMarEST. “There are now some 40 Marine Partners globally benefiting from the scheme, and we look forward to welcoming a growing number of organizations.”
