An anode clamp assembly for attachment to a submerged structure is described. The anode is used for corrosion protection. The assembly comprises an elongate bar shaped or cylindrical anode arranged on a rod having rod ends extending from each end of the anode and clamps being attached to the rod ends. The assembly is easy to use and is suitable for being attached to a submerged structure by means of a Remote Operated Vehicle having a simple construction. Each clamp comprises two first legs having an intermediate bore arranged for rotation around a first rotation axis defined by the rod ends. Each of said first legs at a first end is provided with a griping jaw for attachment to a part connected to the structure and at a second end is hinged connected to a second leg via first hinges having a second rotation axis. The second legs are hinged to each other via a second hinge having a third rotation axis for forming an over-centre acting knee joint together with the two first legs. Said first rotation axis and said third rotation axis are arranged in a common plane being a symmetry plane for the clamp.
