The invention relates to an offshore drilling vessel comprising a BOP transport system comprising a BOP transport cart having a BOP support frame with a lateral opening for receiving a tubular supported in the firing line, which BOP transport system can be used with a vessel having a mobile working deck, for example a working deck that is lifted or skidded between an active position above the moonpool and an inactive position. The lateral opening in the BOP support frame of the BOP transport cart allows the transport cart to be moved into and out off a position for receiving a BOP. By moving the BOP transport cart along the BOP transport track, a tubular supported in the firing line can be brought within the confinement of the BOP support frame via the lateral opening provided in the BOP support frame.
