An apparatus (1) for cleaning the outer side of the hull (60) of a marine vessel (50) and for cleaning the wall (70) of cargo holds, the apparatus (1) comprising a housing (2) provided with magnetic continuous tracks (3) at opposing lateral sides of the housing (2), a front wheel (6) and a rear wheel (5) for each of the magnetic continuous tracks (3), each magnetic continuous track (3) comprising a plurality of links (9) interconnected by drive pins (10), the links (9) having an inwardly facing side (18) and an outwardly facing side (19), a guide (40) configured to engage the drive pins (10) for preventing the links (9) in a first portion of the extent of the of at least one of the magnetic continuous tracks (3) between the front wheel (6) and the rear wheel (5) from moving in the direction in which the outwardly facing side (19) faces and a submersible apparatus for cleaning the outer side of the hull of a marine vessel and for cleaning the wall of cargo space in the cargo holds that comprises a watertight housing provided with continuous magnetic tracks at opposing lateral sides of the housing. A watertight housing provided with continuous magnetic tracks at opposing lateral sides of said housing. At least one drive motor in the housing operably connected to at least one continuous magnetic track for driving the continuous magnetic tracks. The housing being provided with a main side between the continuous magnetic tracks.
An apparatus (1) for cleaning an outer side of a hull (60) of a marine vessel (50) and for cleaning a wall (70) of cargo holds, said apparatus (1) comprising:

A link (9) for a magnetic continuous track (3), in which a plurality of links (9) is interconnected by drive pins (10), said links comprising an inwardly facing side (18) and an outwardly facing side (19), said link (9) comprising an embedded permanent magnet (4), characterized by said outwardly facing side (19) being provided with one or more exchangeable friction pads (37).
A method for adjusting the distance between a permanent magnet (4) in a link (9) of a magnetic continuous track (3), and a wall or hull to which the magnetic continuous track (3) is magnetically attached, said method comprising providing said links (9) with exchangeable friction pads (37) that protrude from an outwardly facing surface (19) of said link (9) and adjusting an extent in which the friction pads protrude from an outwardly facing surface (19) of said link (9).
A submersible apparatus for cleaning 4 an outer side of a hull of a marine vessel and for cleaning the wall of cargo space in said cargo holds, said apparatus comprising:
