2GO Masinag (MNG) or simply known as MV Masinag is a passenger ferry of the Philippine company 2GO Group that went into service in 2002 as Ferry Fukuoka II.

She is the sister ship of 2GO Masikap, the former Ferry Kyoto II, acquired by 2GO a few months before 2GO Masinag. The difference between these the acquisitions of the two ships is that 2GO Masikap had an existing two-piece cargo ramp at the portside quarter aft area which was refitted when she was still under the Hanil Car Express Ferry while 2GO Masinag only utilized its original aft ramp from Japan. The addition and installation of her passenger gangplank and her quarter aft portside ramp were installed upon arrival in the Philippines.

It is the successor of the former 2GO Travel vessel: M/V St. Therese of the Child Jesus (STCJ / ex-Ferry Fukuoka).
