In a statement on Wednesday, the transport ministry confirmed the marine robotics company Ocean Infinity would resume a search of the seabed from 30 December, over a period of 55 days.

It said the search would target areas where it is believed there is the highest likelihood of finding the missing aircraft.

Flight MH370 veered off course and vanished from air traffic radar on 8 March 2014 during a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It was carrying 12 Malaysian crew and 227 passengers, most of whom were Chinese but also included 38 Malaysian citizens and people from countries including Australia, Indonesia, India, France and the US.
