2GO, the Philippines’ leading shipping and logistics solutions provider, was honored by the Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers, Inc. (SONAME) with the first-ever Balangay Legacy Award for Domestic Shipping, as part of the year-long 75 Years of Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding celebration.
The accolade recognizes 2GO’s outstanding contributions to modernizing and advancing inter-island sea transport in the Philippines, acknowledging the company’s pivotal role in shaping the maritime landscape through innovation, resilience, and operational excellence.
Since 2022, 2GO has been actively modernizing its fleet to elevate the passenger and cargo experience. Today, the company operates nine ROPAX (Ro–Pax) vessels and one freighter, servicing 19 ports of call across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Notably, five of those ROPAX ships are among the country’s most modern and state-of-the-art vessels.
The Balangay Legacy Awards honor industry leaders who have helped chart the course of Philippine maritime history—from the seafaring heritage of ancient balangay boats to today’s sophisticated domestic shipping networks. The ceremony brought together leading stakeholders from the maritime and logistics sectors to celebrate this evolution.
“This award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, resilience, and national development,” said Sharon Musngi-Ngo, Business Unit Head of 2GO Sea Solutions. “As we continue to enhance our fleet, operations, and services, we aim to provide local businesses and industries with sustainable and reliable shipping solutions—ones that prioritize safety, convenience, and efficiency for both cargo and passengers.”
2GO remains the only RORO and ROPax logistics provider offering direct routes from Manila to the Visayas and Mindanao, including newly launched services to Davao and General Santos City, further reinforcing its role in supporting regional development and national connectivity.
