SINGAPORE, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) has delayed the restart of a 33,000 barrels per day (bpd) gasoline-making unit at its Singapore refinery by about two weeks, stretching the unplanned maintenance to over three months, industry sources said on Thursday.

The Long Residue Catalytic Cracker (LRCC) in the 500,000-bpd Bukom refinery, which had been shut following an outage in end-September, is now expected to restart by mid-January.
