One vessel remains in MH370 search

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is down to one vessel after the Chinese boat returned to Beijing.

The Dong Hai Jiu 101 concluded its underwater work on Saturday and made its way to Fremantle to drop off equipment before heading to China, leaving the Dutch Fugro Equator search ship, which paused operations on Tuesday for a resupply.

The final stages of the 120,000 square kilometre search in the southern Indian Ocean is expected to take until January or February to complete.
