The ship is one of the 10 vessels tasked with hunting for the ill-fated Boeing 777 jetliner on Monday in a patch of the southern Indian Ocean about 2,060 kilometers west of Perth, according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
The other vessels are seven Chinese ships, a merchant vessel and another Australian ship, said the AMSA, which said in the latest update that 10 aircraft will carry out airborne search on Monday.
