MALAYSIA’s government gave a marine robotics company final approval on Wednesday to renew the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean more than a decade ago.
Cabinet ministers agreed to terms and conditions for a “no-find, no-fee” contract with Texas-based Ocean Infinity to resume the seabed search operation at a new 5,800-square-mile site in the ocean, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said in a statement.
Ocean Infinity will be paid $70 million (around £54m) only if wreckage is discovered.
