Remy Osman

Remy Osman is a British expat living in Singapore, known for his keen interest in maritime activities, particularly the tracking of shadow fleet vessels engaged in the illicit oil trade. Working as a salesman in the food and beverage industry, Osman has gained a following for documenting the passage of tankers that transport oil from countries under Western sanctions, such as Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. Utilizing his apartment's vantage point, he captures photographs and videos of these ships, providing valuable evidence of their movements. His fascination with ship spotting began during the pandemic, and he has since become an informal expert on identifying vessels based on their behavior and registration details. His work highlights the complexities of maritime law and the ongoing challenges posed by sanctions in the global oil market.
