Malaysia extends its contract with Ocean Infinity for another year to resume a deep‑sea search of the southern Indian Ocean for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, keeping the no‑find, no‑fee clause that pays Ocean Infinity $70M only if wreckage is located.The extension allows Ocean Infinity to finish surveying roughly 7,428 square kilometres of remaining seabed after the company temporarily diverted vessels to other commercial missions; officials say operations will restart during the calmer November–April season to improve the chances that autonomous vehicles can map the target zone.Previous multinational and private searches, including an
Ocean Infinity mission in 2018, found no main wreckage though debris linked to
MH370 washed ashore on East African and Indian Ocean islands; Transport Minister
Anthony Loke says the government wants closure for the families of the 239 passengers.
