The Malaysian government says the investigation into the 2014 disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight M-H 370 will continue.
Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong says Ocean Infinity, a seabed exploration company based in the U-S, will carry out a private search for the airliner over 25,000-square-kilometres.
The aircraft vanished during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
