Shanghai, China – 28 February 2013 –Shanghai-based Wison Offshore & Marine Ltd., a subsidiary of the Wison Group, announced today agreement with EDF Trading and Exmar NV to support their collective endeavors to pursue LNG export opportunities in North America using offshore, barge-mounted natural gas liquefaction facilities developed by Exmar, Wison and Black & Veatch.
