Govt extends deal with Ocean Infinity to search for MH370 wreckage | The Star

Theory Briefing

  • Malaysia extended Ocean Infinity's underwater search contract for 12 months, running July 2026 to June 2027.
  • The search remains anchored to the southern Indian Ocean, the zone derived from satellite handshake data analysis.
  • A decade after MH370 vanished, no confirmed wreckage site has been found despite multiple prior search campaigns.
  • Continued investment in the search reflects how strongly authorities still back the satellite-drift theory over rival explanations.
