Trucks pass the Port Newark Container Terminal near New York City in Newark, New Jersey in this picture taken July 2, 2009. The port serving the densely populated Northeastern United States is but one of a string of U.S. ports on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts whose businesses have been thinned by this recession and a dramatic drop in consumer spending.
