Inmarsat, the satellite communications company central to the MH370 search, has acknowledged there remains “significant uncertainty” about the final location of the Boeing 777.

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 continues with the first underwater search vessel Go Phoenix restocking in Fremantle, Western Australia after scouring 670sqkm of seabed in the Indian Ocean.

Among the items being loaded aboard the Go Phoenix this morning were drones capable of searching over water.
Another vessel, Fugro Discovery, joined the search for the aircraft last week. 

The Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared on March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, including six Australians.

Inmarsat, the satellite communications company central to the MH370 search, has acknowledged there remains “significant uncertainty” about the final location of the Boeing 777.

Last week Emirates’ president Tim Clark told a German magazine he did not believe the Boeing 777 was not “under control, possibly until the very end”.

He also questioned why Malaysia Airlines has not released the cargo manifest for the flight, or the aircraft’s maintenance history.
