Herbert Engineering Corp. has developed leading edge software solutions for the marine industry for over 20 years. Our products and programming capability have been essential elements of our own design and engineering services. They have allowed us to respond quickly and efficiently to new regulations and engineering techniques. Herbert Engineering is committed to maintaining this important capability and continues to develop software applications to enhance our engineering analyses.

Herbert Software Solutions, Inc. is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the well-established CargoMax™ product line of onboard loading instruments, cargo preplanning software, load management systems for offshore platforms, and computer-based training systems. Additionally, the company will assume responsibility for the development and marketing of HEC's successful HECSALV™ casualty response and ship design software used by major classification societies, shipyards, navies, salvors, and oil/chemical tanker fleets. With the new structure, HEC and HSSI plan to build on the great synergies that exist between well established engineering capabilities on the one hand and 20+ years of commercial marine software development on the other. The two companies are located in the same facility in order to ensure coordinated customer support.

Robert Tagg is the newly appointed President of Herbert Software Solutions, Inc. Rob joined Herbert Engineering in 1975, and has been a senior principal and Vice President at HEC for the last fifteen years. Keith Michel will continue as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
