Benin maakt gebruik van twee strategische maritieme toegangspoorten om de internationale handel te vergemakkelijken: de Zeehaven, Cotonou, and the zeehaven, Porto-Novo (BJ). Samen vormen deze havens een cruciale logistieke as, die diverse ladingen verwerkt en de producenten en consumenten van het land verbindt met de wereldmarkt.
