US based Ocean Infinity commits to finding MH370 with a search in early 2023 or 2024

In a dramatic development, US-based Ocean Infinity has committed to finding MH370 with a search planned for early 2023 or 2024. Speaking on the eighth anniversary of the plane’s disappearance, Ocean Infinity chief executive Oliver Plunkett told the next of kin that the company was committed to finding the missing Boeing 777 that vanished on March 8, 2014, with 239 souls on board. “We have been looking at all the data from our previous search (in 2018) and the new material from Richard Godfrey and the Independent Group,” Mr Plunkett said “We look at this every day.” “Our view of the new work these people have done is credible and worth focusing on.” Mr Godfrey is using a breakthrough technology of disturbance to radio signals, first revealed in The West Australian in 2021, to track MH370. He has come up with a location 1993km west of Perth and very close to where Professor Charitha Pattiaratchi from the University of WA says the aircraft is located. Pattiaratchi’s drift modelling work led wreck hunter Blaine Gibson or motive locals to recover most of the debris from MH370 on the African coast and surrounding islands. Mr Plunkett said that his company had a plan for a new search in 2020 but COVID had played havoc with its plans. He also explained that the company is building a number of remotely controlled ships for ocean surveys and that one of these would be deployed for the search. “Since 2020 we have clarity of our plan and our assets and are ready to re-engage in the conversation (with Malaysia). “We are ready to carry on a no find no fee basis. “All being well we will start a search in early 2023”. He outlined that there was still a lot of work to do and hoped that the Australian authorities would be involved. “Our new search ships are cutting edge and we are going to try and make it happen in 2023 – if not 2024,” Mr Plunkett said.
