Vault across ship is our aim, ridiculously (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ossarium

'vault' is the definition.
(ossarium is a type of vessel or vault)

'across ship is our aim ridiculously' is the wordplay.
'across' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ship' becomes 'ss'.
'ridiculously' is an anagram indicator.
'our'+'aim'='ouraim'
'ouraim' with letters rearranged gives 'oarium'.
'ss' placed inside 'oarium' is 'OSSARIUM'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
