Europe Distillates-Diesel cracks retreat as demand wanes

LONDON: Northwest European diesel refining margins fell on Tuesday weighed by higher oil prices and slowing demand in the barges market.

* Barge trading was muted with a single barge changing hands in the afternoon session.

* The Welsh government environment agency, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), has issued an enforcement notice to suspend two fuel pipelines on the Valero refinery jetty in Milford Haven, it said on Tuesday.

* The US company reported last week a petroleum product leak into the Milford Haven Waterway.
