LONDON, July 10, 2008 - Seletar Shipping Limited, a Scotland based ships agency and freight logistics provider, is working with Chubb to secure a number of the company’s prestigious waterside buildings at Aberdeen’s Waterloo Quay.  Chubb is part of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

Chubb’s relationship with Seletar spans a 15-year period and began in January 1994 when Chubb won a contract to install an intruder alarm system at two small office premises.

Since then, Seletar has grown into one of the biggest property and shipping companies in Aberdeen, and the support required from Chubb has grown commensurately. It is now one of Chubb’s largest single contracts in Scotland.

Seletar’s Waterloo Quay Property Manager Keith Gatland said the partnership’s continued success is due to Chubb’s high level of service.

“We chose, and continue to choose Chubb for its professional reputation and one-to-one personal service,” he says. “Because we have service contracts on both the security and fire systems, we can be assured that any problems are responded to quickly. Over the years we have developed a good relationship with Chubb locally and the consistently high service levels make it well worth the investment.”

One example of Chubb’s superior service is the wireless fire detection solution the company installed in a number of Seletar’s buildings in 2005, after a review found that they did not meet the latest fire regulations.

“At the time, others said that a wireless solution would be ineffective, but the buildings were not suited to a hard-wired system, so we had to trust Chubb’s judgement,” said Gatland. “That trust was well placed and the system has proved a significant success.”

Seletar has since bought further properties and Chubb provides fire and security-based services on these sites, including CCTV and access control.  Chubb is currently in the process of quoting for Seletar’s latest project, a £17 million new build at Aberdeen Harbour.

Chubb is part of UTC Fire and Security, a $5.8 billion company that provides fire safety and security solutions to more than one million customers worldwide.  Headquartered in Connecticut, UTC Fire & Security is a business unit of United Technologies Corp., which provides high technology products and services to the building and aerospace industries worldwide.  More information about Chubb and UTC Fire & Security can be found on their Web sites at http://www.utcfireandsecurity.com and http://www.chubb.co.uk.
