Deadweight displacement is different from full load.
Although I dont know if it accounts for my confusion.
The ships is also nearly 30m longer.

Yeah, it SEEMS larger than a PC-1 - more like Visby-sized. Maybe it's the trimaran hull form? Extensive use of composites, perhaps?
Edit: Ok, i looked up deadweight. (
Tonnage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Deadweight (often abbreviated as DWT for deadweight tonnes) is the displacement at any loaded condition minus the lightship weight. It includes the crew, passengers, cargo, fuel, water, and stores. Like Displacement, it is often expressed in long tons or in metric tons.
So the MRC will have a much higher displacement than 320 tons. My guess is it's closer to Visby sized.
