Moving freight from port A to port B or C would not be permitted since it would be considered as cabotage. That same maritime shipping company would, however, be able to carry freight between ports D, E, and F (cabotage) since it is registered in country 2."

That would be for intra-EU transport. Unfortunately, our agreement with the EU allows for one trip in, one in state transport and one trip out. That's for EU trucks coming and and UK trucks going out (not sure what the situation is for Northern Ireland)
