In brief
2GO Masagana is a passenger ferry and flagship of the Philippine shipping company 2GO Travel that went into service in 2003. She was originally known as Tsukushi of Hankyu Ferry.
She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Maligaya, formerly Yamato, also from Hankyu Ferry. She was acquired by 2GO a few months after 2GO Maligaya. The difference between the two sister ships is on livery design, which has a few modifications and tweaks. In 2023, her sister MV 2GO Maligaya, had her sundeck area expanded for more accommodations, while she retained her original sundeck.
She and her sister ship are the largest passenger vesels ever to sail in the Philippines, surpassing MV Princess of the Stars of Sulpicio Lines.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 13,353 gross tons, 2GO Masagana is the 32,200th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 2.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 197th by tonnage — larger than 78% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Japan is the country of registry for 2,663 vessels in this directory, of which 2GO Masagana is the 395th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,534 ships), and the median vessel measures 764 GT. Browse every ship flagged Japan.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 241 ferrys flying the Japan flag, of which 56 are larger by tonnage.
2GO Masagana was built in 2003, making it 23 years old. It is one of 1,383 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,954 GT; within it this ship is the 656th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 104 vessels to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 21,438 GT, delivered between 1948 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 195.0 m overall, 2GO Masagana is 91.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 26.4 m and a draft of 6.9 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9263162 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 2003 and which range from 2001 to 2006. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2003.
Its IMO number, 9263162, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 6×5 + 3×4 + 1×3 + 6×2 = 132 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
