KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 — Marine robotics company Ocean Infinity has submitted a proposal to resume the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The matter was disclosed by the Association for Families of the Passengers and Crew on board MH370 on its MH370 families Facebook page yesterday.
“Ocean Infinity made a successful presentation on a new search proposal for MH370 on a No Find No Fee basis to the Minister of Transport Malaysia, Senior Ministry Officials as well as other Government Agencies.
“The presentation was well received by the Minister and his team.
“We wait for the required paperwork to be sorted out and a new contract is inked.
“MH370 families would like to extend our appreciation to all concerned.” the posting said.
The previous search by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) from May 2014 until January 2017 covered 120,000 square kilometres.
During ATSB’s search, some debris from the missing plane washed up on islands in the Indian Ocean and along the African coast.
In March, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he would be happy to reopen the search for flight MH370 if “compelling” evidence emerged.
In the same month, Transport Minister Anthony Loke had also voiced his commitment to find answers for the families of flight MH370’s victims and revealed that the government was considering resuming the search conducted by Ocean Infinity.

ReplyDeleteTechnologically, logistically, finding MH370 in the extreme depths and rugged underwater terrain of the Indian Ocean is a bigger challenge than finding an object on the far side of the moon.
ReplyDeleteThose who have watched documentaries on. The wrecks of the Titanic and other famous underwater searches will have noticed that much of the ocean floor of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are flat plains.
Not so the Indian Ocean. The search sonfar has uncovered deep canyons and steep mountains. The wreck could be hidden anywhere .
On the other hand..the whole MH370 crew .may well be alive in Diego Garcia ..wakakaka..dumbass conspiracy theories..
