A deck assembly for an offshore rig (2, Fig 1) comprises an auxiliary platform (20, Fig. 5) that provides, in use, an upper surface for receiving equipment. A number of elongate struts 32a, 32b are connectable at their first ends to the platform and at their second ends to a part of said rig such that, in use, the platform is suspended below a part of said rig. An aperture 48 for receiving a riser through it extends through the platform. A safety shroud 52 is attached at a first end to the platform so that the shroud extends fully around the hole. The secondary platform may comprise three separate sections, which may be connected with hinges. The platform may be deployed in a first, extended position and stowed in a second, folded, configuration. The shroud may be telescopic. A method of deploying such an assembly is also disclosed. |
