The Search for the MH370

After Flight MH370 disappeared in the Southern Ocean, Fugro was invited to help find the lost plane in a remote area covering 120,000 square kilometres in very challenging conditions. Deploying specialist vessels, a multinational specialist crew and state-of-the-art technology, Fugro produced 3D terrain and texture maps and used deep tow sonar vehicles and AUVs to search for the wreckage. The seafloor across the entire search area was mapped to a high level of accuracy and it became clear that flight MH370 had gone down elsewhere. As the crew arrived back from their last trip back to port they were welcomed and thanked by government ministers from Malaysia, China and Australia Fugro stands ready, if asked, to continue the search in new areas to finally bring closure for the families of the lost crew and passengers.
