MH370: Search operations to resume from Wednesday

New Delhi: Search teams will resume the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 off the Australian coast from Wednesday.

The teams will use new three-dimensional maps and underwater devices to assist their search efforts on the floor of the southern Indian Ocean, Xinhua reported on Tuesday.

One of the largest international aviation searches in history has been under way after MH370 disappeared with 239 people on board on March 8 this year.

According to the Australian Safety Transport Bureau (ASTB), which is leading the search, a Malaysian ship, GO Phoenix, is expected to arrive at the newly defined search area far off the Western Australian coast on Wednesday and stay for 20 days before refuelling.

On Thursday, a second ship, the Fugro Discovery, will arrive at Fremantle to join the search.
