Programme position
Where RAM supports the build programme
RAM’s proven experience sits at four interfaces in a build programme. They overlap, and most programmes use more than one. Sector-wide capability: Marine & Shipbuilding.
Industry context
Outfitting is not one moment in a build: pre-outfitting begins on blocks before launch, installation runs through several stages, and testing and trials close the programme.
01
Yard production
Panel, section and structural assembly on the shop floor.
Harstad
02
Onboard outfitting
Interior and mechanical installation inside the vessel while the build is still running.
Icon of the Seas
03
Completion & sea trials
Support during the completion phase and during sea trials, including at a second yard.

04
Dry dock & repair
Pipework execution on vessels in dry dock, to the yard’s programme and permits.

Execution scope
What we execute
Scopes RAM has delivered, and the boundary of each. Nothing here is offered on the strength of a job title.
01
Aluminium hull & deck assembly
Panel and section assembly in aluminium, on the yard floor.
02
Marine welding
Welding support for marine fabrication and repair, with processes and qualifications matched to the material and project specification.
03
Interior outfitting
Bathrooms, sanitary areas, stair assemblies and associated interior installation work.
04
Onboard mechanical installation
Mechanical works carried out onboard during newbuild construction.
05
Pipefitting & small-bore pipework
Small-bore stainless and carbon pipework, valves and supports, installed in dry dock.
Every scope here is tied to a named project. Where RAM has no project record, the scope is not listed.

Engagement
How RAM joins the project
Two engagement models. The difference is where responsibility for supervision, sequencing and delivery sits.
A
Industrial & technical workforce
Qualified personnel integrated into your organisation, working under your supervision and to your programme. Scope, sequencing and quality control stay with you.
B
Technical subcontracting
A defined work package delivered by a RAM team with its own supervision, against an agreed scope and schedule.
Both draw on the same qualified pool, and larger programmes often run both at once.
Preparation
Before anyone reaches the gate
01
Scope package
Drawings, quantities and the trades actually required.
02
Qualification
Certificates, welding qualifications and medicals verified against the yard’s requirements before assignment.
03
Schedule window
Team size and start date set against your programme, not against our availability.
04
Site interface
Supervision, reporting line, permits, accommodation and travel agreed in writing.

- Yard production, onboard outfitting, completion and sea trials, and dry dock and repair. Most programmes use more than one of these stages.
- What newbuild and repair work has RAM delivered?
- Aluminium hull and deck assembly in Harstad, Norway; mechanical works and interior outfitting on Icon of the Seas at Meyer Turku, Finland, with sea-trial support in Cádiz, Spain; and small-bore pipework, valves and supports on cruise vessels in dry dock in the Bahamas.
- What should we send to request a team?
- The yard, the build phase, the trades and headcount, the start date and duration, and whether you need an integrated workforce or a subcontracted package.
