Meanwhile, OmniTRAX Canada Inc. appointed Eitan Dehtiar director of energy and commodities marketing. He will be responsible for marketing, sales, customer service, and industrial and business development, primarily in Canada’s northern markets.

Dehtiar will work with OmniTRAX’s current business ties in the Hudson Bay and Kivalliq regions to develop new opportunities, expand revenue growth, and consult with shippers and receivers to ensure the Port of Churchill “continues to offer quality rail, freight handling and marine shipping services,”OmniTRAX Canada officials said in a prepared statement.
