Overview
- Malaysia's Transport Ministry says Ocean Infinity has restarted an intermittent 55-day search for MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.
- The search vessel Armada 86 05 has reached the designated area with two autonomous underwater vehicles to conduct seabed scans.
- Egypt Air chief engineer Ismail Hamad argues magnetic compass deviation, combined with fuel use and Inmarsat data, could sharply narrow the search arc.
- Hamad contends the wreck is more likely in a shallower corridor near the western Australian coast rather than the deep-water zone off Perth previously examined.
- Hamad’s hypothesis is reported as his own analysis and is not presented as an official search directive, while Ocean Infinity previously searched unsuccessfully in 2018.
