LONDON, July 5 (Reuters) - Northwest European diesel barge refining margins rose slightly to about $20.6 a barrel on Friday, as a fall in import volumes supported
Four diesel barges traded in the Platts window, down from nine in the previous session, as Shell sold to Hartree and Glencore.
Independently held gasoil stocks in storage in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub were largely steady in the week to July 4 at 2.18 million metric tons, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.
EU and UK diesel and gasoil imports stood at about 1 million barrels per day in June, nearly 20% below May levels, Kpler data showed.
Russia's energy ministry said on Friday that diesel inventories stood at 3.38 million tons as of early July, up 8% from the last-year period respectively.
