The area is a world class sailing destination and the sailing waters are credited by the Royal Yachting Association as the best in northern Europe: this is backed up by the shore facilities of the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. As all the sailing events for the London 2012 Olympic and Paraolympic Games are due to be held in Weymouth and Portland, the expansion of the Transas system is coming at an appropriate time to assist with the broader build up to one of the largest sporting events in the world. It is not a new partnership, however: working with Transas since 2001, the harbour authority has an AIS and radar based system that will see a full software upgrade, together with the addition of CCTV and VHF radio equipment. This will be combined with a relocation of the existing radar array and the Transas ORS3 radar processing equipment out onto the breakwater, giving a greater level of coverage in the area. Ongoing support will be from Transas UK's dedicated VTS engineering team.

Other enhancements to the existing facilities also include a new slipway and 70 moorings as well as a new commercial 650-berth marina to be developed adjacent to the Academy; these extended facilities have a future use for test events beyond the Olympic and Paraolympic Games. With the total program of works due to be completed by the end of the year, Portland is one of the first of the venues expected to be ready for the Games.

Transas' other contracts also include a commissioning of a state-of-the-art marine surveillance system for Ras Lanuf Terminal in Libya, based on the latest Navi-Harbour solution, and the delivery of six mobile GMDSS simulators to the German Sailing Association, each equipped with one instructor and two trainee stations, that will assist with realistic training operations.
