After 10 years since the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, US maritime robot company Ocean Infinity has revealed a special proposal. As the leading search unit in the second official search in 2018, Ocean Infinity recently announced its intention to use new technology for the next effort to locate the remains of the aircraft. They have also presented a new plan to the Malaysian government, according to News18.

Under the proposed plan, the Malaysian government will only pay Ocean Infinity if the company achieves positive results. Another private US company called Deep Sea Vision is also expected to submit their search campaign proposal to the Malaysian government later this year, as reported by ABC News.

Deep Sea Vision recently gained attention by claiming to have captured sonar images of a private plane lost in the Pacific Central region 87 years ago. Both Deep Sea Vision and Ocean Infinity’s operations will rely partly on new analysis conducted by pilot Patrick Blelly and researcher Jean-Luc Marchand. This analysis will lead them to a new search area.

Jean-Luc Marchand stated that the search operation in the new area could be completed within a week. For a larger search area, the effort might take 12-15 days. After working in the aviation industry for three decades, Marchand is collaborating with Captain Blelly to solve one of the most complex mysteries in aviation history.

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished mysteriously while carrying 239 passengers and crew from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, who had over three decades of experience with Malaysia Airlines, was the pilot of MH370.

One hour after takeoff, MH370’s transponder stopped responding, and the aircraft disappeared from the radar screen. Satellite data suggests that MH370 flew for an additional six hours until it ran out of fuel in the southern part of the Indian Ocean.

In May 2015, the first piece of MH370 debris washed ashore on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Since then, seven other fragments, believed to be from the aircraft, have been found.
