The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is set to continue today, more than 11 years after it disappeared with 239 passengers. UK and US-based marine robotics company Ocean Infinity has agreed a “no find, no fee” contract with the Malaysian government, meaning it will secure a £52 million payout only if wreckage is found. The renewed search efforts began in April of this year, but were called off due to adverse weather conditions. This time, the company will search a new 5,800-square-mile site in the ocean intermittently over 55 days.

On March 8, 2014, the flight left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing at 12.41am local time. At 2.14am it was spotted on a military radar, but 30 minutes later, Malaysia Airlines lost contact and the plane was never seen again. Since then, over 30 pieces of debris suspected to be from MH370 have been found along the coast of Africa and on islands in the Indian Ocean, but only three wing fragments were ever confirmed to be from the plane.
