Technical Specifications
Overview
MV 2GO Maligaya (MLG), also known simply as MV Maligaya, is a passenger ferry and the flagship vessel of Philippine ferry operator 2GO Travel. It originally entered service in 2003 as Yamato under Hankyu Ferry. She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Masagana (formerly Tsukushi), which was acquired by 2GO a few months after Maligaya. The primary differences between the two sister ships are their livery designs, which feature several minor modifications and tweaks. Additionally, after 2023, MV 2GO Maligaya's third passenger deck where the sundeck area used to be, was extended. Both she and MV 2GO Masagana are the largest passenger vessels ever to sail in the Philippines, surpassing the size of MV Princess of the Stars of Sulpicio Lines.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
Commercial
