BERLIN, April 29 (Reuters) - Up to 80% of crude oil supplies to Germany's PCK Schwedt refinery are secured in May, the government of the state of Brandenburg said, adding Germany was urgently seeking alternatives for lost supplies after Russia said it would halt deliveries via the Druzhba pipeline on May 1.

"PCK's capacity utilisation remains stable, with crude oil supplies secured at up to 80% in May, and jobs are safeguarded. This allows us to look to the future with optimism," said state premier Dietmar Woidke in a statement.
