The renewed effort will focus on a refined 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, with Ocean Infinity conducting the search under a 'no find, no fee' agreement.
- Malaysia's government has finalized a $70 million 'no find, no fee' contract with Ocean Infinity to search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
- The search will cover a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, identified using updated satellite and drift analysis.
- Ocean Infinity has deployed a search vessel to the target zone and will utilize improved technology and refined data analysis since its previous unsuccessful search in 2018.
- Flight MH370 disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board, and only scattered debris linked to the aircraft has been found in the years since.
