“Now we have approached Australia and China, and we are working together to resume the search for MH370,” he said. Liow added the contract would be finalized by next week. Ocean Infinity said it was moving Seabed Constructor, the vessel that the company uses for the search, towards the vicinity of the possible search zone given that the weather window would be relatively narrow.
MH370, carrying 239 on board, went missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. Malaysia, Australia and China suspended the search operation in January 2017 after almost three years’ efforts in a 120,000-square-km area in the Southern Indian Ocean failed to find any sign of the wreckage of the plane. But a report from the Australian Transport Safety Board released later in the year pointed to a new area where the plane could be found.
