According to a statement posted the company's official microblog, Fu said he feels greatly grieved to see the huge losses of life and property, and expressed deep condolences to the victims.

Fu apologized to people of Qingdao and people of the entire nation as well.

He said Sinopec will conduct rescue work at all costs and cooperate with the investigation team dispatched by the State Council to find out the cause of the accident.
