PETALING JAYA - A US-based private marine exploration company has made a presentation to Malaysia on a new search proposal for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 that vanished 10 years ago mysteriously after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.

According to the Association for Families of the Passengers and Crew on board MH370 Facebook page, the proposal was on a "No Find, No Fee" basis, which was made to the Transport Minister and his ministry's senior officials as well as other government agencies.

"The presentation was well received by the minister and his team," it said on May 3.

"We wait for the required paperwork to be sorted out and a new contract inked.

"MH370 families would like to extend our appreciation to all concerned," it added.

Previously, the US company, Ocean Infinity, had conducted searches in the Indian Ocean from 2017 until the end of 2018.

Earlier in March, the Texas-based firm claimed that it found new scientific evidence on the last location of MH370.
