Abstract

An apparatus for cleaning or maintaining the outer side of a hull of a marine vessel or the inner side of a cargo hold of a marine vessel. The apparatus includes a housing provided with a first row of magnetic driving and attachment elements and a second row of magnetic driving and attachment elements. The first and second row being parallel and arranged at opposing lateral sides of the housing. The first row of magnetic driving and attachment elements comprising magnetic wheels and/or a continuous track with magnetic links. The second row of magnetic driving and attachment elements comprising magnetic wheels and/or a continuous track with magnetic links. Further, the apparatus is provided with least one suspended magnetic wheel arranged between the first row and the second row, the at least one suspended magnetic wheel being resiliently suspended from the housing and biased towards the housing.

Abstract

An apparatus for cleaning the outer side of the hull of a marine vessel and for cleaning the wall of cargo holds, the apparatus including a housing provided with magnetic continuous tracks at opposing lateral sides of the housing, a front wheel and a rear wheel for each of the magnetic continuous tracks, each magnetic continuous track including a plurality of links interconnected by drive pins, the links having an inwardly facing side and an outwardly facing side, a guide configured to engage the drive pins for preventing the links in a first portion of the extent of the of at least one of the magnetic continuous tracks between the front wheel and the rear wheel from moving in the direction in which the outwardly facing side 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.
