The Canadian Coast Guard says the owner of the MV Maccoa plans to unload more than 3,000 metric tons of corn to lighten the weight of the vessel.

Rain in the forecast could slow down the operation because corn cannot be unloaded in the rain.

The Cyprus-flagged 185-metre bulk carrier ran aground near Vercheres , Que ., in the early hours of Dec. 24 following a power failure.
