Mystery of MH370 deepens after search vessel disappears for three days
Ocean Infinity, which has leased the Seabed Constructor search ship, has signed a $55 million (£40 million) 90-day “no find, no fee” deal with the Malaysian government to look for the missing plane, which vanished en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur in March 2014 with 239 people on board.
Yet just ten days into its search, the multi-million dollar vessel, which is fitted with a sophisticated Automatic Identification System (AIS) went offline after turning off its tracker.
It finally reconnected on Sunday after 80 hours of undocumented travel “but the reason for its disconnection remains unclear, with its whereabouts during this period undocumented”
