Example 1:  Soares, C.C, and Teixeira, A. P. , 2001, "Risk assessment in maritime transportation. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 74, pp. 299–309.

“From the analysis of that figure one can also conclude that fire/explosion is by far the most important initial cause of accidents in tankers, while grounding, fire/explosion and hull problems are important initial causes of accidents for bulk carries.” (p. 301)

See a student's paraphrase.

Example 2: Johnson, H., Johansson, M. and Andersson, K., 2014, “Barriers to improving energy efficiency in short sea shipping: an action research case study,” Journal of Cleaner Production, 66, pp. 317-327.

"Paradoxically, previous research has shown that a substantial amount of measures that typically increase energy efficiency, should be cost-efficient to implement". (p. 317)
