ARA gasoline stocks fall to near 7-month lows, Insights Global data shows
LONDON, May 22 (Reuters) - Gasoline stocks independently held in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub fell by nearly 9% on the week, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed on Thursday.
Gasoline stocks fell to their lowest since October last year at 1.11 million metric tons, Insights Global's Lars van Wageningen said, in part due to higher exports to the U.S. and West Africa.
He added that the Amsterdam and Antwerp ports were also experiencing severe delays in discharging products.
Gasoil stocks, which include diesel, were down 1.4% on a slowdown in imports, coming from the U.S., Middle East and India.
Jet fuel stocks rose 5% to 787,000 tons as imports came from the Middle East.
