We have extensive and multi-decade experience building and maintaining vessels for the defence forces and authorities. Over the years, a significant portion of Finnish governmental vessels have been built and serviced at the Rauma shipyard.
The list includes all multi-purpose icebreakers and large patrol vessels. Also, all large Finnish Navy combat vessels commissioned since 1990 have been constructed at Rauma.
Furthermore, several research vessels have also been constructed at Rauma. This includes the Polar Class 5 supply and research vessel S.A. Agulhas II, which was constructed for the Department of Environmental Affairs of South Africa in 2014. In March 2022, the research team operating on the vessel discovered the wreck of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary ship Endurance, which sank in 1915.

In September 2016, Rauma Marine Constructions and the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command signed a letter of intent for the construction of four Squadron 2020 corvettes in Rauma. The final contract for the vessels was signed in September 2019.
The new corvettes will replace seven outgoing Finnish Navy vessels. The corvettes will be able to ward off both surface vessels and submarines, conduct anti-aircraft defence measures and lead maritime operations.
The corvettes will be built safely indoors. For this, RMC has invested EUR 26 million in a multipurpose construction hall which is currently under construction.
