LONDON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Northwest European diesel barge profit margins were broadly steady at about $16.30 a barrel on Friday, as a fall in regional inventories gives the market some support.
Traders said unfavourable arbitrage economics from Asia was supporting the European distillate market.
Gasoil stocks independently held in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp $(ARA)$ refining and storage hub fell by 2.4% in the week to Thursday, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.
Stocks stood at 2.04 million metric tons, falling on slower imports and firmer inland demand, Insight Global's Lars van Wageningen said.
EU and UK diesel and gasoil imports are on track to reach 895,000 barrels per day this month, down from, 1.26 million bpd in October, Kpler data show.
Falling water levels on the Rhine are limiting barge capacity to about 1,326 tons, brokers Riverlake said, added that levels were expected to fall further in the coming days before rising again with more rainfall from next week.
Neste NESTE.HE has temporarily shut down its refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands due to a fire, it said on Friday, and lowered its full-year guidance for renewable products sales volumes.
