The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Bluefin-21 resumed its search mission on MH370 Tuesday night, the Joint Agency Coordination Center (JACC) said in a statement on Wednesday.

"The data from Bluefin-21's first mission has been downloaded and analysed," said the JACC. "No objects of interest were found."

Up to 11 military aircraft, three civil aircraft and 11 ships will assist in Wednesday's search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, said the statement.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has planned a visual search area totalling approximately 55,151 square kilometres, said the statement.

The centre of the search areas lies approximately 2,087 kilometres north west of Perth, said the statement.

The weather forecast for today is south easterly winds with isolated rain showers, sea swells up to two metres and visibility of five kilometre.
