NOT MY PHOTO: Swire's ship to search for missing Malaysian 777
*** THIS IS NOT MY PHOTO. ***
The image showing "Seabed Constructor" in the harbour of Bergen, Norway, is available from Norwegian-based Swire Seabed A/S, which offers specalised under-ocean works. Swire Seabed is a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Swire Pacific Ltd., which is part of the Anglo-Hong Kong conglomerate John Swire & Sons Ltd.

"Seabed Constructor" was in the news recently, as this vessel will undertake the resumption of the search for the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 that mysteriously went missing on 2014-03-08. Flight MH370 was enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8th March, 2014, when it went off-course and disappeared with 239 on-board. Other than a few pieces of debris washed up along the African coast, the rest of the widebody airliner was never located.

A chance conversation with a couple of flickr friends recently about the name Swire and its long association with Hong Kong flagship airlines Cathay Pacific reminded me about Swire's many other little-known operations. Swire Group has operations from high in the sky to deep under the sea!
Other than having named myself after the Yorkshire family that founded the historic Anglo-HK business, I've no true association with Swire Pacific Group. I've never even owned shares of Swire Pacific Ltd.
