* Northwestern European gasoline shipments to the United States and West Africa are lagging behind January and year-ago levels due to ample inventories and winter storms set to quell the nascent demand recovery from last week, according to Refinitiv analysts.
* However, values are holding in part on expectations of tighter supplies as refineries on both sides of the Atlantic shut for what is a heavy maintenance season. Refinitiv is tracking 298,000 tonnes of loadings this week on the two major routes, down slightly from the 308,000 tonnes last week.
* So far, February liftings total 1.55 million tonnes, down from the massive 2.17 million tonnes shipped out in January. A year ago February shipments reached 2.64 million tonnes while January was at a low 1.65 million tonnes, the data show.
* Russia has halted supplies of oil to Poland via the Druzhba pipeline, PKN Orlen's CEO said on Saturday, adding that the Polish refiner would tap other sources to plug the gap. Trades Bids Offers Prev. Sellers Buyers (vol.) Trades
