LONDON, March 24 (Reuters) – Northwest European diesel refining margins steadied at about $4.30 a barrel on Wednesday as an unexpected rise in U.S. stocks weighed. * U.S. distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, rose by 3.8 million barrels last week, versus expectations in a Reuters poll for a drop of 122,000 barrels, Energy Information Administration data showed. * Dozens of ships carrying everything from oil to consumer goods have been delayed by the grounding of a vessel in the Suez Canal. Companies may have to re-route cargoes around Africa if the blockage extends beyond 24 hours, shipping sources said.
