Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that a renewed search for MH370 is set to take place, spearheaded by Ocean Infinity, focusing on an area of 15,000 square kilometers in the southern Indian Ocean. This decision underscores a commitment to the families of the 239 passengers who remain unaccounted for since the aircraft's disappearance on March 8, 2014. The government remains steadfast in its obligation to pursue answers for the ongoing mystery surrounding MH370.
The new search will utilize the 'no find, no fee' principle, where the marine robotics firm will only receive payment if the aircraft's wreckage is discovered. The anticipated reward for finding the wreckage is $70 million, illustrating a financial commitment to resolving this poignant mystery. The terms of the deal will be finalized by early 2025, with expectations for the search operation to occur between January and April of that year.
Families and next-of-kins of the passengers and crew have expressed their support for the renewed search, stating in a statement, 'We have endured over a decade of uncertainty. We hope that the terms of the renewed search are finalized at the earliest and the decks are cleared for the search to begin.' Their statement reflects a deep emotional impact due to the prolonged mystery and the desire for closure.
