Fugro NV, a Dutch deepwater-oilfield surveyor, won a contract from Australian authorities to scour the floor of the Indian Ocean for the Malaysian jet that vanished on March 8 in a search it described as “challenging.”
“This is a huge project because of the location, the sea depth, logistics and size of the area,” Rob Luijnenburg, a spokesman for the Leidschendam, Netherlands-based company, said by phone today. “We have experience locating plane wrecks in the Caribbean though not at such depth and amid 10-meter (33-foot) waves that are common in that area,” he said.
