MV 2GO Masikap (MSK), also known as MV Masikap, is a passenger ferry operated by the Philippine shipping company 2GO Group. The vessel originally entered service in 2002 as Ferry Kyoto II .[2]
Masikap is the sister ship of MV 2GO Masinag, formerly Ferry Fukuoka II, which was acquired by 2GO a few months later.
The vessel was designed under the concept of a "next-generation ferry that is friendly to both people and the environment." Its propulsion system was intended to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 19% compared to conventional ferries, supported by an operational efficiency management system to lower fuel consumption. The interior design was commissioned to Dugdir Management & Design, a British firm known for its work on the Orient Express, and was themed around providing a "peace of mind on the journey." The ship was also built as a barrier-free vessel, with multi-purpose restrooms and elevators installed to accommodate passengers with reduced mobility.[3]
