2GO, is a passenger ferry company which is based in Manila, Philippines and part 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]

Until 2012, 2GO was known as Negros Navigation. It changed its name following a significant realignment of ferry transportation in the Philippines in which long-standing companies SuperFerry, Cebu Ferries and SuperCat merged into SuperFerry, under the Aboitiz Transport System. SuperFerry was purchased by Negros Navigation, in December 2010, 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 has one of the most modern shipping fleets in the Philippines and operates the largest fleet of inter-island vessels in the country,[6] having a total fleet of 27 operating vessels of which 23 are company-owned.[7] It has a total passenger capacity of 7,450,162 passengers and an aggregate cargo capacity of 338,305 twenty-foot equivalent units.[7]

History[]

SuperFerry[]

SuperFerry, founded as Aboitiz Shipping Company, later Aboitiz SuperFerry was one of the largest ferry companies in the Philippines before it was purchased by Negros Navigation. The shipping company was known in the 1990s as William, Gothong & Aboitiz (WG&A Philippines), where the latter eventually bought the entire shares of WG&A consortium from William Lines and Gothong Lines Group leaving the full control of the company to Aboitiz. The Gothong Group restarted its own shipping company called Carlos A. Gothong Lines (CAGLI), while the William Group opted to concentrate on its logistics, warehousing, and courier business, called Fast Logistics. SuperFerry and its sister companies SuperCat and Cebu Ferries were eventually merged with Negros Navigation where the latter bought all the shares of Aboitiz Transport System and relaunched in 2012 as 2GO Travel. The SuperFerry brand was subsequently retired after the merger.

Negros Navigation[]

Negros Navigation Co., Inc. (NENACO) was one of the oldest domestic shipping companies in the Philippines.[8] It was organized and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 26, 1932, for the purpose of transporting passengers and cargo at ports of call in the Philippines. In the 1960s Nenaco was the first among the domestic shipping companies to operate brand new, fast, and luxurious air-conditioned passenger ships. Throughout the 1970s & 1980s, NENACO constructed and operated a modern passenger terminal in Manila’s North Harbor and pioneered in offering special cruises to the Philippine tourist spots using its coastwise vessels. Nenaco also launched its containerization program and ushered a new industry trend on the use of roll-on roll-off (“RORO”) vessels. It used to deploy shuttle buses in Baclaran, Cubao and Alabang which takes passengers to the pier terminal.[9] In the 1990s, Nenaco became the first Philippine shipping company to be listed in the stock exchange. Proceeds amounting to P916.86 million from the initial public offering (IPO) were used to support the “Globalization Program” of the company that involved fleet expansion and service modernization because of the investments in those years, Negros Navigation soon became one of the largest transport-related companies in the Philippines.[10] NENACO later merged with SuperCat, SuperFerry and Cebu Ferries to form 2GO Travel, the second time major Philippine shipping companies merged after the William Lines-Gothong Lines-Aboitiz Shipping merger (WG&A) in 1996. At the same time, the China-Asean Investment Cooperation Fund, a private equity fund wholly-owned the government of the People's Republic of China through an equity infusion gained a controlling interest in Negros Navigation and subsequently changed the company into the 2GO Group with 2GO Travel its shipping-company subsidiary. The 'NENACO' brand was eventually retired in mid-2012.


Destinations[]

The following ports of call are served by 2GO. Many of these routes were previously served by either SuperFerry or Negros Navigation:

Fleet[]

2GO acquired vessels from the remnants of former shipping companies: SuperFerry, SuperCat, Negros Navigation and Cebu Ferries. The vessels used to carry names derived from Roman Catholic saints until recently where newer vessels were named from certain "Ma" words with 2GO prefix that describes the positive attitudes of being a Filipino (e.g. 2GO Maligaya, 2GO Masagana, etc.). The routes shown below are the ships' default route assignments. The ships may be assigned to other routes when needed.

Liveries[]

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

2012-2015[]

MV "St. Michael the Archangel" 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!)".

2015-present[]

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 2GO’s vessels prior to its new acquisitions in 2021.

2GO Maligaya & 2GO Masagana (2021-present)[]

The company’s most complex livery is unveiled in 2021 with the introduction of its newest vessel, 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 new livery now features several colorful shapes scattered around the vessel representing 2GO’s brand identity, core pillars, and values with the “2GO” branding placed near the stern. The bow now features a large wave-like shape painted in magenta with white stripes, with vessels’ names in a new font, painted in different colors akin to a rainbow. It is still unknown if the rest of the fleet will be painted with this version of livery.
