Europe Gasoline/Naphtha-Gasoline cracks steady

LONDON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline profit margins fell by 10 cents to $23.14 a barrel on Tuesday despite concerns around supply shortages.

• A total of 6,000 metric tons of Eurobob E5 gasoline barges traded as Equinor and Gunvor sold to TotalEnergies and Varo.

• Another 4,000 tons of Eurobob E10 gasoline barges traded with Sahara selling to Varo and ExxonMobil.

• Nigeria's 650,000 barrel-per-day Dangote refinery has delayed maintenance on its crude distillation unit to the end of January, from earlier plans of undertaking it next month, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.

• The crude distillation unit's turnaround was pushed to January 30 of next year and is set to last for seven days, one of the sources said, citing a client note by industry monitor IIR Energy.

• Scarce supply continued in Europe, Asia and the U.S., as refinery outages exacerbated the supply picture, Sparta Commodities said.

• Meanwhile, EU and UK gasoline exports are on track to reach 674,000 barrels per day in November, according to Kpler data, compared with 916,000 bpd last month. ​
