Ocean infinity’s search for MH370 in Indian Ocean yields no results...

Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo MOSCOW, Jan 24: The Singapore-flagged vessel Armada 86 05 of US marine robotics company Ocean Infinity, which is leading the underwater search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, has not made any significant discoveries during the latest phase of its work, according to a new search progress report sent to family members obtained by Sputnik. “Overall, despite consistent deployment of AUVs and significant cumulative survey coverage achieved during this period, there has been no significant discovery or conclusive finding identified from the search operations to date,” the document said. The latest update, covering the period from January 6 to January 15, confirmed the vessel successfully mapped approximately 7,236.40 square kilometers (2,794 square miles), but the initial planned completion date of January 16 was exceeded, and the search was prolonged to January 24 to factor in “operational considerations and the need to maximize survey coverage,” the report said.

Key Highlights

  • The Armada 86 05 and its three Hugin Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) were deployed on the southern side of the 7th Arc, a curved geographical boundary calculated from final satellite communication pings between the aircraft and an Inmarsat satellite, with activities largely uninterrupted between January 6 and January 14.
  • Daily productivity varied due to operational tempo, technical factors and weather conditions, with the highest single-day coverage of 870.91 square kilometers recorded on January 14.
  • A brief technical fault required the early recovery of one AUV on January 7, but full three-AUV operations resumed thereafter.
  • The current deployment is part of a 55-day operational window authorized by the Ministry of Transport Malaysia on December 3, 2025.
  • In the early hours of March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777-200 aircraft operated by Malaysia Airlines on flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, disappeared from radar screens.
