The invention relates to a vessel, especially a drillship or so-called drilling ship. The vessel comprises a hull having a bottom surface and a deck. A moon pool extends from the bottom surface of the hull in an upward direction through the hull. Further, the vessel is provided with a cavity located at a rear side of the moon pool, with the cavity being at least partly open at a front side to allow water to flow from the moon pool directly into the cavity. Further, the cavity is at least partly open at a bottom side to allow water to flow out of the cavity. The cavity is defined at least partly by a trailing wall sloping downwards in a rearward direction and at least partly by a ceiling connecting a rear wall of the moon pool with the downwardly sloping trailing wall.
