The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is offering further help to Malaysia in its efforts to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
In a statement on Monday evening, SAF said it is offering the help of its Information Fusion Centre which has a network of 13 military navies and 51 civilian shipping companies worldwide.
The centre has activated this network of ships to report any unusual sightings in designated search areas.
SAF said more companies are expected to be contacted.
The centre also has international liaison officers from 13 countries stationed in Singapore who can help coordinate actions from Australia, Brunei, France, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and the US.
SAF also said the Republic of Singapore Air Force Fokker-50 Maritime Patrol Aircraft, which was deployed to Butterworth Air Base in Malaysia on March 14, returned to Singapore on Monday evening, after Malaysia called off the search-and-locate operations in the South China Sea and the Malacca Strait.
SAF said it stands ready to provide further assistance to support the international search-and-locate efforts.
