Spider-infested ship turned away from port

Thousands spill out as cargo is unloaded; vessel last docked in South Korea

HAGATNA, Guam — Authorities in the U.S. territory of Guam have turned away a ship after thousands of spiders overflowed from its cargo.

The Guam Department of Agriculture says hundreds of large spiders and thousands of smaller ones were seen when stevedores began offloading insulation and beams for housing units from the ship, the M.V. Altavia.

The cargo was returned to the ship, and the Agriculture Department on Friday ordered that the ship not be allowed to dock. It was last ported in South Korea.

Clock Spider has always scared me. Who the F was nominated as the guy to remove the clock from the wall???

If it were me, the clock would have been used as the squishing device. And what I mean by squishing device I mean something between the baseball bat and the GI-normous spider.

Braver than me...

The clock would have burned with the rest of the house and that hellish creature.

Small, fast spiders are creepier than the huge ones IMO. I don't mind picking up a tarantula but I'll be damned if I'm gonna touch a wolf spider or fishing spider.

Yeah don't mess with spiders while their busy in their leisure time... I wouldn't pick up a golfing spider...

And obviously they were fishing spiders, why else would they be on a boat...

They get into the cargo containers

I have opened up containers and started unloading bananas and found some pretty big spiders.

Look who thinks he's better than you:

That would end my career as a dock worker. (assuming I'd ever begin a career as a dock worker)

:pfft:
