Ocean Infinity Restarts MH370 Search in Indian Ocean This Week

The expedition uses autonomous vehicles to scan high‑probability sectors under a contingent payment deal tied to a confirmed find.

Overview

  • The renewed mission is scheduled to start Tuesday and run 55 days with planned breaks.
  • Search teams will target the most likely seabed areas roughly 1,500 kilometers off Western Australia.
  • Ocean Infinity will receive about €60 million only if it locates the aircraft.
  • A survey effort that began in February was halted in April because of poor weather after deploying a support vessel and autonomous underwater vehicles.
  • A Beijing court on December 8 ordered compensation for eight families, highlighting the quest for answers for the 239 people who vanished in 2014.
