PETALING JAYA: The Australian contracted survey vessel Fugro Equator has commenced operations in a defined search area, joining Chinese PLA-Navy ship Zhu Kezhen.
“Under the direction of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), the two vessels are conducting the bathymetric survey, which is crucial to carrying out the deep water search for MH370 that is scheduled to commence in August,” said the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) in a media statement on Wednesday.
