Under constant surveillance are the ports of Long Beach, CA, Shanghai, Singapore, and Dubai, among others. Taking it all together, analysts can estimate the port's revenue growth, and can develop macro-economic indicators. Port of Long Beach, California The second-busiest container port in the United States. Satellite analysts use these images to count shipping containers coming off ships in California and are able to get a sense of overall US import activity, comparing activity month by month.
