While the news release only mentions the findings of the Horizon Arctic, it is clear that multiple vessels are involved in the search efforts.
The Titan submersible began its original descent to explore the ruins of the Titanic on Sunday. However, it was last heard from at the end of its two-hour dive to the wreckage site. With an estimated 96 hours of oxygen for its five passengers, time is running out, and the group may have already run out of air by Thursday morning.
Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue. 1/2

The situation took a haunting turn on Wednesday morning when the Coast Guard detected “underwater noises” in the search area. This led to speculation that the crew of the submersible was attempting to make contact with the outside world.
