The present invention relates to hybrid riser towers, and in particular hybrid riser towers for a drill centre. A riser is provided comprising a plurality of conduits extending in use from the seabed toward the surface and having an upper end adapted to be supported in use at a depth below the sea surface wherein said riser is provided with buoyancy along at least a part of its length, wherein said buoyancy is in the form of blocks located at intervals along the length of the riser, wherein said blocks are arranged symmetrically around a central structural core to form a substantially circular cross-section, and wherein said blocks are arranged non-contiguously around said central structural core. 220a 220b -- - ~ 410 L i Fig. 4b
