Economics Minister Shen Jong-chin (沈榮津) is demanding CPC Corp., Taiwan’s state-owned refiner, take action after reports surfaced that over 60 cubic meters of gasoline leaked from from an oil tank at the Huxi Oil Depot on Penghu – polluting about a hectare of land.
According to Chen, CPC has been instructed to submit a review about the leak within a week and name the two employees who were disciplined over the incident.
The minister said the company has also been asked to review all operational processes and introduce intelligent measurement control systems, to replace the manual measurement of oil.
The oil leak at the depot in Penghu occurred in June last year. [FULL STORY]
