Press release -
Flying Start for Fischer Panda UK at Southampton Boat Show
Southampton International Boat Show, 13th to 22nd September, Fischer Panda UK, Stand E020
Fischer Panda UK celebrated a fast start to the Southampton International Boat Show with the sale of its first generator to cruise liner operator The Majestic Line (Scotland) right on show opening last Friday.
The positive news, marked by a ‘sold’ sign on the Panda PMS 25i variable speed genset outside the Fischer Panda display trailer, set the Verwood-based generator specialist up for another successful 10 days on Stand E020.
Following the boat show deal, The Majestic Line and Fischer Panda UK are in discussions to extend the new partnership with the supply of additional generators to power its fleet of four small ships cruising along the sheltered lochs and islands of the West Coast of Scotland and the Hebrides.
The large 25i generators, installed to power the galleys and cabins, are ideal for The Majestic Line’s two converted traditional vessels and its two new purpose built steel hulled vessels due to their compact size and variable speed capability, improving efficiency and reducing running costs and fuel consumption.
Chris Fower, Marketing Director, Fischer Panda UK, said: “The sale of the first unit on the first day was a great boost and set a really optimistic mood for the rest of the show. We are looking forward to doing more business with The Majestic Line and equipping more of its vessels with our next generation gensets.”

The iSeries generators are included in the product range on show in Fischer Panda UK’s display trailer at Southampton Boat Show at Stand E020. Providing visitors with a first-hand, interactive experience of its complete system capability, the marine generator, electric propulsion, air-conditioning, watermaker, and power monitoring and control supplier is bringing its latest technology and equipment direct to boaters with live demonstrations and the chance to see, hear and operate the products for themselves.
