LONDON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Northwest European diesel
barge profit margins rose above $19 a barrel on Friday, their
highest since early August, as cold weather was expected to
boost regional demand. 
    * Colder weather across northwest Europe was expected to
increase
demand fopr heating oil, traders said.
    * European diesel supplies were expected to tighten in
December
due to lower import levels and regional production, Sparta
Commodities analyst Neil Crosby said.
    * Gasoil stocks independently held in the
Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub rose
by over 18% in the week to Nov. 14 to their highest in six
weeks, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.
    * Stocks stood at 2.42 million metric tons, rising as large
cargoes from the Middle East discharged in the region, Insight
Global's Lars van Wageningen said. He added that demand for
heating oil from inland locations was robust.
    * EU and UK diesel and gasoil imports are on track to reach
1.08
million bpd this month, down from 1.26 million bpd in October,
Kpler data showed.
