demanded action Thursday from CPC Corp. over recent reports of leaks from an oil storage tank at its oil depot in the outlying county of Penghu.

Shen said CPC had been instructed to submit a review on the leak within a week and name disciplined officials. The company was also asked to review 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 mid-2017, but the depot director and manager did not report the matter. Officials at the CPC head office said they were unaware of the leak until May this year.    [FULL  STORY]
