The Marine Research Company Ocean Infinity It has begun again, 11 years later, investigations into the detection of Malaysia Airlines aircraft that disappeared in 2014 while operating the MH370 flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Locke announced today.

The minister welcomed “Ocean Infinity’s volunteering that is developing its ships” to repeat the Boeing 777 investigations that disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014, with 239 occupants of 153 Chinese.

Loke did not specify when the investigations began, and added that the details of their duration have not yet been decided.

The Malaysian government had pointed out in late December that it approved the launch of new investigations to identify the mysterious aircraft.

In addition to the 153 Chinese, there were about 40 Malaysian citizens and citizens of another 13 spaces.

On December 13, the government “accepted Ocean Infinity’s proposal” to continue investigations “in a new 15,000 -square -kilometer zone in the southern part of the Indian Ocean,” Locke noted.

The Malaysian government will not pay money to the company unless it detects the aircraft, based on the terms of the agreement lasting 18 months, he added.

Despite the investigations conducted after the air tragedy, the aircraft was not identified.

Australia surveys covered an area of ​​120,000 square kilometers in the Indian Ocean, but no trace of Boeing was found, except for a few debris that were washed up along the coast of Africa and in the Indian Ocean islands.

Ocean Infinity “convinced us that it is ready,” Locke said. “For this reason, the Malaysian government made this path.”

Quala Lumpur had requested in 2018- when the investigations were suspected- from this company to look for the aircraft, but in vain.

Various theories have occasionally appeared to explain the disappearance of the aircraft. One of them said that the pilot of the aircraft, 53 -year -old Zaharie Ahmad Sach, threw it deliberately into the ocean.

A report published by Malaysia in 2018 focused on the omissions of the control tower and revealed that the aircraft’s course had changed manually, but did not reach a definitive conclusion.
