Malaysia announces plans for a new large-scale search in a major development for missing MH370

One of the most significant aviation mysteries occurred in 2014 when Flight MH370, a Boeing 777, vanished while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There were 12 crew members and 227 passengers on board.

After satellite data revealed that the plane veered off course and headed south to the far-southern Indian Ocean, it was assumed that the plane crashed into the ocean.

Following a “no find, no fee” agreement with the Texas-based ocean exploration firm, Malaysia’s transport minister declared on Wednesday that the search for Flight MH370 will continue.
It is anticipated that the search will take place in a new region of the southern Indian Ocean, which is roughly 5,790 square miles in size.

Minister Loke Siew Fook said in a statement that the government is dedicated to carrying out the search and giving the families of the MH370 passengers closure.

Ocean Infinity, the company searching for the missing plane, has already made two failed attempts to reach the wreckage, the most recent of which was in 2018.

Oliver Punkett, the company’s CEO, stated that Ocean Infinity has made significant equipment improvements since 2018 and has employed technology that has enabled them to focus their search on the most likely location.

The search technology was referred to as state-of-the-art by former Australian naval officer Peter Waring. To be honest, he told 60 Minutes, “What these new Ocean Infinity vessels represent is as big a transition in maritime technology as the movement from sail to steam in the 1800s.”

“It is an important development in maritime technology.”

In the open ocean, where waves as high as 20 meters have been observed in the new search area, the technology is limited.
According to Mirror, Ocean Infinity has already sent a search boat 1,200 miles off the Australian coast of Perth to the target area.

Mr. Waring cautioned, “There is nowhere to hide and there is absolutely no shelter out there.”

The closest port is Perth, which is six or seven days away.

“If something goes wrong, it will quickly become catastrophic; these are dangerous conditions.”

Deep-sea diver and electrical engineer Craig Wallace also discussed the difficult circumstances.

He claimed that the Indian Ocean in which they are operating is one of the worst in the world.

Wave heights of 20 meters, or 60 feet, have been recorded. They will frequently be unable to launch or recover the vehicle due to the harsh conditions.

Answers are still elusive for the families of those killed in the plane crash.

Passengers on Flight MH370 came from over a dozen nations.
