Sanson is a major port city in the West African country of Benin, Republic of Benin, located in the south of the country on the Atlantic coast, about 30 kilometers from the economic center of Cotonou. As an emerging economic hub of Benin, the Port of Sanson is a modern deep-water port built by the country to relieve pressure on the Port of Cotonou, which will be operational in 2022, significantly enhancing regional maritime capacity.

The completion of the port has made Benin a maritime gateway to the West African region, with the capacity to berth large container ships, handling mainly the import and export of agricultural products, minerals and industrial materials, and playing a key role in facilitating Benin's trade with neighboring landlocked countries such as Niger and Burkina Faso.
With the operation of the port, Sanson is rapidly developing into an industrial and logistics center, attracting warehousing, processing and manufacturing industries. The city's surroundings are predominantly agricultural, producing crops such as palm and cotton. The local area has retained Benin's traditional Voda culture and is attracting attention for its future potential as the infrastructure is gradually improved due to the construction of the port.
