A holder device for a marine anode (2) which is mounted to ship's cladding plates to prevent or reduce their corrosion, by connection to the ship's side (10) of protruding end parts (8) of anode carrier irons (6) preferably embedded in the anode (2), consists of a steel body (12) which is adapted to be welded onto the exterior of the ship's side (10), and which is shaped with a hollow (14) which is open to receive one of the said end parts (8) of the anode carrier iron (6), and in connection with the said hollow (14), the holder device includes clamping means (16) which are arranged to retain the said end part (8) and to establish an efficient conductive connection between the said end part of the anode carrier iron (6) and the ship's side (10). In this way it becomes possible to attain a substantial facilitation and reduction of cost in changing marine anodes, as the change can be made in a relatively short time by a diver without the ship needing to visit a yard or to be docked.
