SCEND 20 years of hydrostatics software development

In 1972 we brought out the first version of SCEND. By 1977 it had won wide support among naval architects in the USA. In 1982 we introduced BHS, which later grew into GHS. Today GHS and BHS are used and recognized around the world.

There is only one genuine GHS. We invented it and making it excel is our business.
