Hopes of a major breakthrough in the years-long search for the infamous missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 have been dashed.

The hunt for the craft was resumed after it was called off last year - and tension rose as enthusiasts spotted the unusual behaviour of one search vessel. The Boeing 777, carrying 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers, disappeared over the Indian Ocean in 2014 after departing from Kuala Lumpur for a routine flight to Beijing.

Private firm Ocean Infinity is carrying out the operation in collaboration with the Malaysian government. This week an Armada 86 05 appeared to have returned to a location it had searched just days before. Those closely following the intermittent 55 day search believed the ship was equipped with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that can be used to sweep areas under the water.

However, this theory has since been shot down. Science journalist Jeff Wise, a leading voice on. According to the Press News Agency, he said: I feel like its necessary to address some misinformation thats been circulating on the internet.

There have been claims that the ship had stopped because it was deploying ROVs to take a closer look at something on the seabed, he said.

The reason for the ship holding tight was given quite clearly by Ocean Infinity itself, that it was waiting out bad weather.

Also, we know that the ship does not have ROVs onboard, thats another piece of misinformation that has been circulating.

They are not ROVs, they are refrigeration units. Why do they have refrigeration units? One of the things they can do is store food. Maybe the crew wants to stay out for longer than they otherwise could, but we dont really know.

The aircraft remains at the heart of aviation's greatest enigma and is the deadliest single incident involving a missing plane.

Wise said that although he understood the desire to wish for the best possible outcome, people were not correct in their read of events.

The company has kept communications minimal around the operation which has led to internet sleuths filling the void in information with their own, often shaky theories.

The American marine robotics which located Sir Ernest Shackleton's lost ship Endurance in 2022, is preparing for another attempt to find the wreckage, following an unsuccessful search in 2018.

An Ocean Infinity spokesman noted that owing to the operations sensitive nature, official communications from the much anticipated new search would be issued by the Malaysian government.
