* France's Gravenchon refinery site, run by ExxonMobil's Esso France unit, began restarting on April 4 after the end of the strike in protest against the French government's pensions reform at the Le Havre oil terminal, an Esso spokesperson told Reuters on Wednesday.
* Fuels products truck loading resumed at the Fos refinery site, also run by Esso France, on Wednesday, the spokesperson added.
* The Feyzin refinery in eastern France operated by TotalEnergies has returned to normal production levels, a company spokesperson said.
* U.S. distillate stockpiles , which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 3.6 million barrels to 113.1 million barrels last week, far exceeding expectations for a 400,000-barrel drop, Energy Information Administration data showed.
* Global seaborne diesel exports to Europe this week are at around 2.84 million tonnes, according to Refinitiv tracking. However, this could fall as it includes around 1.31 million tonnes of Russian barrels.
* A week ago, 2.46 million tonnes were scheduled, including around 0.99
million
tonnes of Russian barrels. Delays, changes of orders and missing Russian cargoes
sent flows falling to 1.44 million tonnes, of which almost 385,000 tonnes have
yet to be fully discharged, according to Refinitiv analysis.
* Diesel exports for Europe scheduled for April so far are estimated at 4.2
million tonnes with no signs of abatement in shipments from Russia, according to
Refinitiv analysis. This compares with around 6.5 million tonnes in March.
* Record volumes of Russian diesel poured into the Middle East in March,
boosting
exports to Europe and Africa, ship tracking data showed.
* Meanwhile, Singapore's diesel imports from Russia hit their highest volume
in
more than a year in March and are likely to stay elevated in April, according to
government data and industry sources.
