The deep-sea search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which has been missing for more than 11.5 years, will resume in a matter of weeks.

The Malaysian government has announced that a 55-day search of specific seabed areas will begin anew on December 30.

Leading this renewed effort is the U.S.-based robotics firm Ocean Infinity, tasked with exploring areas identified as having the “highest probability of locating the aircraft,” according to a statement released by Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport.

“Ocean Infinity has confirmed with the Government of Malaysia that it will restart seabed search operations for a total of 55 days, to be carried out intermittently,” the statement detailed.

This initiative highlights the Malaysian government’s ongoing dedication to providing closure for the families affected by this tragedy.

The agreement between Ocean Infinity and the Malaysian government, established in March, operates on a “no find, no fee” basis, ensuring that the search resumes without financial risk if the aircraft is not found.

The company will be paid A$110 million only if wreckage is discovered.

A private search in 2018 by Ocean Infinity also found nothing.

The Boeing 777 plane vanished from radar shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014, carrying 239 people, including six Australians, on a flight from Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, to Beijing.

Satellite data showed the plane turned from its flight path and headed south to the far-southern Indian Ocean, where it is believed to have crashed.
