On November 9, Quanzhou Municipality’s Information Office issued the latest information regarding the chemical leak of Fujian Donggang Petroleum & Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereafter Donggang Co.) and its handling. The note identified a production safety accident as the cause for the environmental pollution.
The official report states that the tanker “Tiantong 1” berthed at the Donggang Co. pier in Quangang, Quanzho, at about 16:00 on November 3. At 19:20, the transfer of industrial-use cracking C9 through the Donggang Co. pier oil pipeline began. At 00:51 on November 4, the pipeline began to slip. At 01:13, Donggang Co. operators discovered leaking C9. On-site staff immediately stopped the pump and closed the valves. Qualified personnel quickly arrived at the pier to begin retrieving the spill. By 01:23, the leak was stopped. At about 02:00, specialists arrived at the dock to handle the environmental spill. At 04:30, the clean-up operation within the oil boom ended. However, part of the spill spread into the adjacent Xiaocuo waters, with some resident reporting a pungent smell.
According to the report, relevant departments promptly set up working groups in charge of on-site disposal, mass work, marine impact assessment, and accident investigation to implement emergency measures.
The report also says that by 15:00 on November 8, relevant departments had dispatched more than 400 vessels, over 2500 people and 732 bags of oil absorbent mats and 70 barrels of oil remover to absorb the oil spill. Floating oil in the affected waters had been basically cleared by that point. Vessels and personnel will continue working in the area to absorb any residual oil that may appear when the tide changes.
The report further says that on November 4, the departments for environmental protection, marine fisheries and safety supervision at the province and municipal levels began monitoring the air, marine environment and aquatic products in the affected area. To ensure food safety, Quangang District has suspended the catching, selling and eating of cage-cultured aquatic products in the affected area since November 4. The impacted sea area encompasses 0.6 square kilometers. Damage to aquaculture is concentrated in the Xiaocuo cage-culture area, which covers around 0.2 square kilometers. This affects 152 farmers tending to 99 units, of which 20 are empty. Among the remaining 79 units, 20 are severely affected, while the others suffered varying degrees of damage.

11月9日，泉州市政府新闻办就福建东港石油化工实业有限公司化学品泄漏事件及处置情况作通报，初步认定这是一起安全生产责任事故引发的环境污染事件。
通报称，2018年11月3日16时左右，“天桐1”油轮靠泊泉州市泉港区东港石化公司码头；11月3日19时20分，开始从东港石化码头输油管道进行工业用裂解碳九的装船作业；11月4日凌晨0时51分，输油管出现跳管现象；凌晨1时13分，东港石化码头作业人员发现装船过程中发生工业用裂解碳九化学品泄漏。现场工作人员立即采取停泵关阀措施，并委托有资质的单位迅速到码头进行污油回收。凌晨1时23分油品停止泄漏；凌晨2时许，处置单位赶到码头进行污油回收；凌晨4时30分，围油栏内清污作业基本结束。但部分污油向邻近的肖厝海域移动，泉港部分区域空气出现刺鼻性气味。
