Ship with poisous spiders refused at port of rotterdam
A ship from South Africa was finally allowed in the port of Rotterdam on Tuesday night . The DAL Stellenbosch was delayed by a day, because it had about 20 potentially dangerous spiders on board.The crew has caught the spiders and put them overboard, the port reported Tuesday.
During the trip the crew observed spiders, which they thought to be Black Widows (a notorious spider species). They captured a number of them and threw them overboard, according to a spokesperson.
With this knowledge in mind a special inspection team went on board when the ship arrived in Rotterdam. They found about twenty more spiders. As far as they know all spiders were found and thrown overboard.
Specialists determined the spiders were not the notorious Black Widows, but the less poisonous Brown Widow (Latrodectus geometricus).
After a customs inspection the ship finally got a green light Tuesday afternoon to unload its cargo in Rotterdam.

一艘有毒蜘蛛的船舶被拒绝靠泊鹿特丹港
一艘从南非来的船舶终于获准于周二晚上靠泊鹿特丹港。 该船舶之所以被推迟一天,是因为大约有20个潜在危险的蜘蛛被发现在船上。船员已经抓住了这些蜘蛛并将它们落水。
在航行过程中,机组人员通过观察蜘蛛认为这些蜘蛛是"黑色寡妇"(一个臭名昭著的蜘蛛物种)。他们抓获了它们并把它们落水。
当该船到达鹿特丹港的时候,更多的蜘蛛爬上了这艘船舶,以至于船员不得不再次将它们抓住并落水。
专家确定这些蜘蛛并不是臭名昭著的"黑色寡妇"蜘蛛,而是更少见的有毒的"棕色寡妇"蜘蛛。
经海关检查后,该船终于被批准靠泊鹿特丹,并进行卸载货物。
