In Class NK's website the official transliteration of her name is spelt “Watatumi”, using the Nihon-shiki style of Romaji rather than one of the more common Hepburn styles used by non-Japanese websites, but the “つ” is clearly pronounced “tsu”, not “tu”.
Balticshipping.com gives a previous name of “Matsuyama Maru No.11” but Class NK's website lists no previous names for her. There is currently a ship of this name (IMO No.9540558) built in 2010 by the same yard so Balticshipping's data would seem to be incorrect.
