British expat Remy Osman helps track sanctioned oil tankers via iPhone, aiding global enforcement.
Remy Osman, a British expat in Singapore, uses an iPhone from his rooftop to track shadow fleets—illicit oil tankers evading sanctions by disabling signals—through the busy Singapore Strait.
The narrow waters force ships to reactivate tracking systems, allowing Osman to identify suspicious vessels by their age, flags, registration, and hull depth.
His efforts, part of a growing network of independent observers, have contributed to global enforcement, including the U.S. seizure of the Russian-flagged Bella 1.
In 2025, shadow fleets moved over $100 billion in crude, with about 3,300 vessels globally, prompting international concern and coordinated action.
