TASNEEF Technical Work L.L.C—officially Emirates Classification Society (TASNEEF)—was founded in 2012 as the first Emirati-owned marine classification authority and certification body in the UAE and GCC. Headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a Dubai training division, the firm specializes in maritime classification, management systems certification, asset integrity inspections, and technical training. Operating through three distinct subsidiaries—TASNEEF Maritime Services, TASNEEF‑RINA Business Assurance, and TASNEEF Asset Integrity—it offers end-to-end services from vessel classification and offshore inspection to system certification and workforce training.

Committed to driving safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance, TASNEEF deploys cutting-edge technologies (including AI-based defect detection), strategic global partnerships, and accredited training programs (NEBOSH, ISO, OSHA) to enhance client operations and local workforce capability. Notable milestones include classing naval vessels, securing a multi-year contract with AD Ports for port inspection and certification, and installing Liberia flag recognition—highlighting its elevated stature within international maritime governance.

Since its inception, TASNEEF has grown into the UAE’s premier classification society with over 150 staff, half of whom are UAE nationals trained in-house. Through consistent innovation, environmental stewardship, and rigorous asset integrity protocols, the firm continues to shape regional marine safety standards while supporting the UAE’s ambition to lead in maritime excellence.
