NBTA Annual Christmas Dinner

Date & Time: Friday, 20 November, 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm
Venue: Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, Corner Swanston Street and Masson Rd, Parkville, Victoria, 3010.
Dress: Cocktail

The Christmas Dinner returns in 2026 for its 32nd year, continuing one of the bulk tanker industry's longest-standing traditions.

Each year, the dinner is a chance to step away from the day-to-day pressures of the industry and celebrate the people, partnerships and achievements that keep Australia moving safely and efficiently.

Keeping with tradition, we've once again secured a unique venue: this year's dinner will be held at the Potter Museum of Art. We have organised a private viewing of the gallery which will take place at the start of the evening, which will be followed by dinner catered by the Chefs from the Residence at the Potter.

Whether you've attended for years or are joining us for the first time, save the date and be part of another memorable NBTA event.
