Många fartyg och fraktfartyg körs på HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil), denna typ av olja är så tjock att den behöver värmas för att kunna flyta. HFO innehåller också många kemiska ämnen så som svavel, som är skadligt för naturen och de Eco-system som finns i haven, därför har många länder börjat införa restriktioner och direktiv av vilka sorters bränsle som får användas på deras vatten. Detta har medfört att Engine lubrication is very important for engine sustainability and efficiency. It becomes even more important when heavier fuel types who contributes to lubrication are changed to alternative fuel without the same lubrication abilities. Because the performance of lubrication systems sometimes can be very hard to study in real time due to hostile environments inside engines, specialized techniques

Uppsatsen undersöker diskriminering av synliga minoriteter i polisiär verksamhet ur ett diskrimineringsrättsligt och polisrättsligt perspektiv.
