Herbert Engineering Corp. (HEC) is a ship design, maritime engineering consulting, and software development services provider headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its clients include shipowners, operators, charterers, shipyards, and government agencies. Based on the website content, it is not a typical SaaS product available for online subscription, but rather focuses on engineering consulting, vessel design, and customized technical delivery.
HEC covers commercial vessel concept design, preliminary design, contract design, as well as newbuild and conversion projects, involving container ships, bulk carriers, RoRo vessels, tankers, and more. Its technical modules include intact/damage stability analysis, inclining experiments, structural design, structural finite element analysis, 3D modeling and rendering, hydrodynamic and motion analysis, mooring analysis, oil outflow and salvage analysis, and more. In maritime engineering, the website mentions LNG and alternative fuel system integration, piping and electrical diagrams, ventilation arrangements, hazardous area and IECEx compliance, engine replacement assessments, classification society submissions, on-site shipyard supervision, and 3D laser scanning.
The website does not disclose any standard plans, subscription fees, free version, trial, or payment methods. Although the company states that it provides “software development services,” it does not present specific software product names, cloud deployment, account permissions, APIs, developer documentation, or third-party application integrations. Therefore, from an enterprise software procurement perspective, HEC is more like a project-based engineering services provider, with pricing likely customized according to project scope, vessel type, approval requirements, and deliverables.
Its strengths lie in sixty years of industry experience, coverage across the full vessel lifecycle, familiarity with classification society and flag-state approvals, and offices in the United States, Europe, and Shanghai, which facilitate cross-regional project support. It also has broad coverage in environmental compliance, LNG/alternative fuels, ballast water, scrubbers, special cargo securing for bulk carriers, offshore engineering, and offshore wind. Its shortcomings are that the website lacks the pricing transparency, productized feature boundaries, data security certifications, SLAs, collaboration permissions, and API information that SaaS buyers typically care about.
HEC is suitable for professional organizations that need vessel design, conversion, compliance assessment, offshore structural analysis, or shipping technology due diligence. It is not suitable for companies looking for general-purpose project management, PLM, or vessel operations SaaS. The website mentions a Shanghai office, but the crawled content does not make it possible to determine access stability from mainland China, so its China access status is unknown.
