2GO Masinag is a passenger ferry of the Philippine shipping company 2GO Travel that went into service in 1999 as Ferry Fukuoka II.[1][2][3]
She is the sister ship of 2GO Masikap, the former Ferry Kyoto II, acquired by 2GO a few months before 2GO Masinag. The difference between these the acquisitions of the two ships is that 2GO Masikap had an existing two-piece cargo ramp at the portside quarter aft area which was refitted when she was still under the Hanil Car Express Ferry while 2GO Masinag only utilized its original aft ramp from Japan. The addition and installation of her passenger gangplank and her quarter aft portside ramp were installed upon arrival in the Philippines.
