Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for a drilling/production vessel (1) having geostationary anchoring, including a turret (4) in the form of a substan-tially hollow cylindrical body, which turret (4) is pivotally supported about a vertical axis in a vertical through opening (3) in the vessel (1), a vessel-supported drill floor (8) above the turret (4), guides means (17) for risers (18) in the turret (4), and a drag chain (20) for the transfer of pro-duction from the risers (18) to a deck (2) on the vessel. The invention is characterised by a vertical pipe rack (14) which extends down from the drill floor (8) and into the through opening in the turret (4), a lateral access opening (16) in the vertical pipe rack (14) on a level with the drag chain (20), and in that the drag chain (20) is designed to have a free circumferential area, or is constructed having an opening in a circumferential area (38) radially external to the said lateral access opening (16).
