2GO or 2GO Sea Solutions, also known as 2GO Travel, is a passenger ferry company based in Manila, Philippines, the shipping and passenger ferry arm of 2GO Group, and the only remaining Manila-based major interisland passenger ferry company, with its main hub located in Pier 4 at the Manila North Harbor.[2]

The company was formed in 2012 following a significant realignment of ferry transportation in the Philippines in which the brands SuperFerry, Cebu Ferries and SuperCat under the Aboitiz Transport System was purchased by Negros Navigation for US$105 million.[2] At the same time, a unit of China-Asean Investment Cooperation Fund, a Netherlands-based, private equity firm wholly owned by the Chinese government, took a controlling stake in Negros Navigation through an equity infusion.[3][4][2] Because Negros Navigation was a privately held firm the exact amount invested by the Fund was not disclosed.[5]

2GO, previously as a logistics arm of Aboitiz Transport System, is now one of the major operator of inter-island vessels in the country,[6] which as of April 2024 has a total of 12 operating vessels.[7][8] It has a total passenger capacity of 7,450,162 passengers and an aggregate cargo capacity of 338,305 twenty-foot equivalent units.[8]

## Current Fleet[edit]

When 2GO started passenger ferry operations, it inherited vessels from the remnants of the former shipping companies: SuperFerry, Negros Navigation and Cebu Ferries. 2GO has a total of: 12 passenger ships (8 liners and 3 midsized ferries) and 1 cargo ship. 2GO has a series of ships namely: The M Series (e.g. 2GO Maligaya, 2GO Masagana, etc.) and the S Series (e.g. St. Michael The Archangel, St. Francis Xavier etc.) According to internal sources, 2GO intends to acquire a number of new vessels (a mix of Liners, Midsized Ferries and Cargo Vessel) until 2027 to complete its vessel modernization program which aims to upgrade and/or replace its ageing fleet replacing older vessels (1980s to early 1990s) with a more up-to-date vessels that can service the company’s current needs.

### Liveries[edit]

2GO's livery has undergone several revisions throughout its history. Despite the differences in the design, all of their ships were predominantly painted with their company colors: white and magenta.

#### 2012-2019[edit]

M/V "St. Leo The Great" painted on 2012-era livery

Their first livery is composed of an all-white color dominating the ship with the funnel/s and the waterline painted with magenta. The sides of the hull featured the “2GO Travel” branding as well as the then company's signature logo, a large stylized letter “G” painted near the bow and to the funnel. The decks were painted light blue.

A special version of this livery was briefly used on one of their vessel, MV "St. Ignatius of Loyola". This special livery features a wave-like shape on the bow and on the stern, with several shapes of birds, ball, star, and maskara and is added to the bow, also with the stern section featuring the phrase "Sarap Maglakbay! (traveling is fun!)". It was called the Boracay Funship Livery.

#### 2019-present (S Series)[edit]

M/V St. Therese of The Child Jesus painted on the 2019 livery

2GO revised its livery during this time to a much cleaner and simpler design. Although similar to its previous livery with the ships featuring an all-white livery dominating the hull and the superstructure, this time the funnel which is previously painted with magenta, is now painted in white. The “2GO Travel” branding which is previously seen on the hull was revised to feature only the word “2GO” and is now painted also to the funnel. The large letter “G” was omitted making the livery much simpler. The waterline and the deck retained their original colors. This livery is currently used on all of The S Series vessels.

In 2023, a new version of this livery was unveiled, it is still identical with the old livery except for the addition of a large wave-like figure in the bow and stern mimicking the 2021 livery used by the newer 2GO ships. It was applied on the S Series vessels of 2GO.

#### 2021-present (M Series)[edit]

M/V 2GO Masagana painted on the current 2021 livery

A new livery is unveiled in 2021 with the introduction of 2GO Maligaya, and later, 2GO Masagana. The livery was overhauled giving the ships a much modern and festive appearance. Although still dominated with white and magenta colors, the livery features several colorful shapes scattered around the vessel representing 2GO's brand identity, core pillars, and values. The bow features a large wave-like figure painted in magenta with white stripes, with vessels’ names in a new font, painted in different colors akin to a rainbow. The future vessels will be painted with this version of livery.

## Former Fleet[edit]

Ships that was once part of the fleet of 2GO that were either scrapped, sunk, or sold for various reasons.
