Bad weather halts Ocean Infinity search for MH370, to resume year-end

Transport Minister confirms agreement signed last week between Putrajaya and marine robotics firm on ‘no find, no fee” basis

SEPANG — The Malaysian government inked an agreement with Ocean Infinity (United Kingdom) to reinstate the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 last week, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said.

The search, currently halted due to weather conditions, is to resume at the end of the year, he added.

“I think right now it’s not the (right) season. I think they have stopped the operation for the time being and will resume the search at the end of this year,” Loke said after welcoming the arrival of British Airways’ first flight to Malaysia after a five-year hiatus at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), here.

He was responding to an announcement by the Association for Families of the Passengers and Crew that the search for MH370, which disappeared in March 2014, has been delayed until next summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

The association cited adverse weather conditions as well as Ocean Infinity’s prior commitment as the reason for the postponement.

It was earlier reported that the government had approved the terms and conditions of the service agreement with Ocean Infinity on a “no find, no fee” basis.

This means the Malaysian government will only be required to pay Ocean Infinity if the wreckage is discovered, with a success fee amounting to US$70 million.

The marine robotics company’s first search for the missing aircraft was from January 2018 to May that year. It covered more than 112,000 square kilometres of the southern Indian Ocean seabed.

MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing, China, with 239 passengers and crew members on board. – April 3, 2025
