Perth - A robot mini-sub hunting for Malaysian jet MH370 will make a second mission to the remote southern Indian Ocean seabed on Tuesday after aborting its first search as it encountered water deeper than its operating limits, officials said.

The unmanned submarine, loaded with sonar to map the ocean floor, was deployed on Monday night from the Australian ship Ocean Shield, which has spearheaded the hunt for the Boeing 777 that vanished on March 8. The search enters its 39th day on Tuesday.

"After completing around six hours of its mission, Bluefin-21 exceeded its operating depth limit of 4 500 metres and its built in safety feature returned it to the surface," Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) said, without detailing the exact depth of operations.

"The six hours of data gathered by the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle is currently being extracted and analysed," JACC said. The US-made Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) had been due to spend up to 16 hours collecting data.

US Navy Captain Mark Matthews explained that the vehicle had exceeded its programmed operational limit and automatically resurfaced.

Matthews, a search and recovery expert, said the crew would now refine the task to cope with the depth encountered.

The US-made AUV Bluefin-21 would embark on a second mission during the day, weather permitting, JACC said.

JACC chief Angus Houston had announced on Monday the end of weeks of listening for signals from the plane's black boxes and the launch of submarine operations.

The vehicle would survey the silty ocean floor for 16 hours at a time to gather a maximum amount of data, he said.

"Bluefin-21 is planned to redeploy later today when weather conditions permit," JACC added.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The cause of the disappearance remains a mystery, with no debris found despite an enormous search, involving ships and planes from several nations. – SAnews.gov.za-NNN

Royalty went into bat in the South Island city of Christchurch today (14.04.14) as Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge helped New Zealand warm up for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

Enthusiastic crowds filled leafy Latimer Square to watch the royal couple as they joined New Zealand cricketing royalty and teams of excited children - sporting the team colours of international cricketing nations - to pitch in together for a friendly game of cricket.

With the children fielding and the Duke on the ball, the Duchess took her place on the crease with a plastic bat. She faced three deliveries from her husband before handing the bat to him as New Zealand cricketing great Sir Richard Hadlee played wicketkeeper.

After the Duke smashed a ball out into the crowd, they were presented with a New Zealand cricket shirt each, and a onesie for Prince George.

International sporting events
Christchurch is preparing to host two of the world’s biggest sporting events in 2015: the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 and the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup (between New Zealand and Sri Lanka) will be played in Christchurch on 14 February 2015 in the newly transformed Hagley Oval, commencing the 49-match series across New Zealand and Australia.

And, later in the year (30 May - 21 June), the FIFA U-20 is expected to fill stadiums across New Zealand as the beautiful game brings a host of rising stars from 24 nations.

Christchurch ‘reimagined’
Tagged as a ‘city reimagined’, Christchurch is becoming one of New Zealand’s most vibrant and creative hubs as a passionate population work to rebuild and recreate their city following the 2011 earthquake.

The New York Times ranked Christchurch as Number 2 on their list of 52 cities to visit in 2014, describing it as a city of creativity and wit.

Just two hours from Christchurch, the vast region of Canterbury (which stretches from the glaciers and ski fields of the Southern Alps to the beaches of the east coast) offers diverse outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, wineries, hot springs, lakes and wildlife.
