The North Fiji Basin (NFB) is an oceanic basin west of Fiji in the south-west Pacific Ocean. It is an actively spreading back-arc basin delimited by the Fiji islands to the east, the inactive to the north, the Vanuatu/New Hebrides island arc to the west, and the Hunter fracture zone to the south.Roughly triangular in shape with its apex located at the northern end of the New Hebrides Arc, the basin is actively spreading southward and is characterised by three spreading centres and an oceanic crust younger than 12 Ma. The opening of the NFB began when a slab roll-back was initiated beneath the New Hebrides and the island arc started its clockwise rotation.The opening of the basin was the result of the collision between the Ontong Java Plateau and the Australian Plate along the now inactive
