Danish ferry firm DFDS has announced a series of public meetings in Guernsey and Jersey to gauge public views on future services.
It comes after DFDS said earlier this year it was interested in bidding for ferry services in the Channel Islands.
The States of Guernsey and the Government of Jersey is to launch a tender for the route later this month, according to States of Guernsey Deputy Neil Inder.
Condor Ferries, the current operator, previously said it believes it will be the operator of choice for both islands.
Jersey has a contract with Condor Ferries to 2025, while Guernsey has a memorandum of understanding.
DFDS is to host a meeting at the Radisson Blue in Jersey on 23 April from 17:00 BST.
In Guernsey, the event is being held at the Duke of Richmond on 24 April from 17:00 BST.
The advertisement for the events said: "Senior leaders will be present at the event to listen to your views and answer your questions on the upcoming tender for the Channel Islands.
"For practical reasons the venue can only hold a limited number of people and is available on a first come first serve basis."
