Maybe nearly the last big (min. 400 Pax) ferries built in Europe (?):
WASA LINE Aurora Botnia (2021 Rauma)
TALLINK My Star (2022 Rauma)
2 x TT-LINE AUSTRALIA (2024 Rauma)
3-4 x RoPax 400 UNITYLINE/POLFERRIES (2024/2025 Remontowa)
CORSICA LINEA "A Galeotta" (2021 Visentini)
???, Honfleur (2019/2022 FSG/Fosen)
COLOR LINE, Color Hybrid (2019 Ulstein)
So only Rauma and Remontowa has new ferry-orders actually.
Small norwegian "lyspunkter" for Ulstein and Fosen.
From european ferry-companies maybe only Tallink-Silja will be in the future the only european costumer (?).
Asian yards (5 x Kina, 1 x Korea):
AVIC-CMI WEIHAI JINLING:
STENA LINE E-Flexer, 6 x 2019-2021, 6 x 2022-2024
FINNLINES Finnsirius, Finncanopus (2023)
XIAMEN:
VIKING LINE, Viking Glory (2022)
GUANGZHOU (GSI):
DESTINATION GOTLAND Visby, Gotland (2019/2020)
ALGERIE FERRIES Badji Mokhtar 3 (2021)
COSCO SHIPPING Ji Long Dao + Xiang Long Dao (2021/2022)
DFDS Aura Seaways, Luna Seaways (2022)
P+O FERRIES P+O Pioneer, P+O Liberte (2023)
MOBY LINES Moby Fantasy, Moby Magic (2022/23)

BOHAI FERRY Zhong Hua Fu Quiang / Zhong Hua Fu Xing (2020)
HYUNDAI MIPO:

So nearly all newbuilt big ferries are/will be built by Asian shipyards... .
The last big european yards are now specialised in cruise-ship-building.
And also all new big Katamaran/Trimaran-ferries are built in Asia (Filippinene/Vietnam) and Australia,
f.ex. Fjordlines Fjord FSTR (2021) and Molslinjen-Bornholms Express 5 (2023).
