Ocean Infinity Set for MH370 Search Restart Despite Previous Criticisms

MALAYSIA – The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is set to resume after a nearly ten-year hiatus. Ocean Infinity, the company contracted by the Malaysian government, announced that seabed mapping operations will begin on December 30th, covering a previously assessed area over several phases during a 55-day window.

The decision follows previous governmental reluctance acknowledged even internationally, with sources suggesting earlier attempts were prematurely halted due to unfavorable conditions. Now, under stringent financial terms where Ocean Infinity receives payment only if wreckage is found, the company insists this marks the continuation of their search program according to initial agreements established long ago.

This operation underscores the government’s commitment, a promise previously delayed and now faced with renewed scrutiny regarding efficiency and outcomes. The families, however, remain wary given past performance metrics under international pressure.
