The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 continues now that an oceanic robotics company has secured a new contract with the Malaysian government.
Texas-based Ocean Infinity and Malaysian cabinet ministers have agreed to a “no-find, no-fee” contract, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on Wednesday.
This means the Malaysian government would pay Ocean Infinity $70 million, but only if it successfully finds the plane wreckage, according to the Associated Press.
“The government is committed to continuing the search operation and providing closure for the families of the passengers of flight MH370,” Loke said in a statement.
