Search for lost flight stopped
The "Dong Hai Jiu 101", one of the two vessels still looking for the missing flight MH370 of the Malaysia Airlines ceased its search. The vessel returns to its home port in Shanghai. The ship began in February to look into an area of 120,000 square kilometers. At that time, three other vessels were in search of the Boeing 777. The ship will return to China, because their share of the search was complete. The search for the plane now rested solely on the shoulders of the Dutch "Fugro Equator" which was going to restock in the Australian port city of Fremantle. Then the ship will continue the search with advanced ultrasound equipment on the seabed of the southern part of the Indian Ocean. The search was expected to close in February 2017.
Barrel, but no lost flight found during search for MH 370
The underwater search of the "Fugro Equator" and the "Dong Hai Jiu 101" for the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which went missing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board while on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, found an oil barrel and cable debris but no sign of the missing jet, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said on Nov 30, 2016. The agency, which was leading the search for the Boeing 777-200, released sonar images of man-made objects that were currently being examined by a ROV. The underwater search continued with an AUV searching areas of challenging terrain and an ROV examining a range of sonar contacts which have been previously identified. Over the past week, ROV missions have revealed those contacts to be geological or man-made objects. Dive 17 on Nov 23 identified a contact cluster as geological comprising basaltic rock outcrops on a slope. The search for the missing plane continued in a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean. The search operation was timewise delayed due to poor weather condition. Authorities believed that the search would be completed by around January/February 2017 following which the search will be suspended if no credible clues are found leading to the plane's fate.. The "Fugro Equator" was continuing underwater search operations in the north of the 46,000 square-mile search area using the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). So far, the vessel has undertaken a total of 21 missions in the latest segment of the search. The vessel also successfully completed five AUV missions this week. The "Dong Hai Jiu 101" is using the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in the south of the search area. The vessel has conducted a total of 24 ROV dives during the latest swing.

Search for lost towfish and MH 370
Crews trying to find the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, were working this week not only to recover debris from the missing plane but also to find to find a key piece of equipment lost during the search. The Australian Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is leading the hunt for the vanished Boeing 777, announced in an operational update on Apr 13, 2016, it lost a towfish and depressor. The failure of a tow cable connector resulted in the loss of the SLH-ProSAS-60 towfish and the attached depressor on Mar 21, 2016. The investigative team called in the American ROV "Remora III" and hooked it up to the "Dong Hai Jiu 101" that joined the search this year. The newly outfitted boat started traveling to the search area April 11, and once it has arrived the "Remora III" will begin trying to detect the lost equipment. Recovery operations will then be undertaken.
