The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane will be entering a new phase, said Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Monday. "I regret to say that thus far none of our efforts in the air, on the surface or under sea, have found any wreckage."

The new phase will focus on searching the ocean floor over a much larger area, Abbott said. It is "highly unlikely" That any debris will be found on the ocean surface. By this time, most of the debris will have become waterlogged and will have submerged, he said.

The new phase will use commercial contractors with a high degree of specialization with deep ocean search. It will cost about $60 million, he said. Ref. CNN
