Malaysia Confirms Latest MH370 Search Found No Wreckage

Families urge extending Ocean Infinity’s no‑find, no‑fee deal, with winter seas plus a redeployed vessel making a quick return unlikely.

Overview

  • Malaysia’s Air Accident Investigation Bureau said two search phases totaling 28 days and about 7,571 sq km of seabed produced no confirmed MH370 findings.
  • The latest phase ran from Dec. 31, 2025, to Jan. 23, 2026, after an initial effort in March 2025, with operations repeatedly disrupted by weather.
  • Ocean Infinity is operating under a contract that pays $70 million only if wreckage is located, targeting a new high‑probability area of roughly 15,000 sq km.
  • Voice370 urged the government to extend Ocean Infinity’s agreement and to offer similar no‑find, no‑fee terms to other qualified deep‑sea firms.
  • Relatives complained of sparse briefings and limited support, saying they received no updates since Jan. 15, as officials pledged to keep families informed.
