ARA gasoline stocks drop by 9% on strong transatlantic exports

Gasoline stocks held in independent storage in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub fell by almost 9% in the week to Thursday, according to data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global.

Gasoline inventories dropped as exports to the United States and Latin America picked up, while local production remained low and imports to the region was subdued, Insights Global’s Lars van Wageningen said.

Naphtha stocks dropped by 12% as demand in petrochemicals remained stable and there were no incoming cargoes, van Wageningen said.

Gasoil inventories also dropped by 5%.
