The company was formed in 2012 following a significant realignment of ferry transportation in the Philippines in which the brands SuperFerry, Cebu Ferries and SuperCat under the Aboitiz Transport System was purchased by Negros Navigation for US$105 million.[2] At the same time, a unit of China-Asean Investment Cooperation Fund, a Netherlands-based, private equity firm wholly owned by the Chinese government, took a controlling stake in Negros Navigation through an equity infusion.[3][4][2] Because Negros Navigation was a privately held firm the exact amount invested by the Fund was not disclosed.[5]
2GO, previously as a logistics arm of Aboitiz Transport System, is now one of the major operator of inter-island vessels in the country,[6] which as of April 2024 has a total of 12 operating vessels.[7][8] It has a total passenger capacity of 7,450,162 passengers and an aggregate cargo capacity of 338,305 twenty-foot equivalent units.[8]
