This sent me down the internet rabbit hole!
VHF maritime ship-shore service appears to have been discontinued and the fequencies have been "re-purposed".
The regs are unclear ( te me, at least ) but the regs provide for VDSMS, an acronym signifying VHF radio to radio direct text messaging. THe channels also appear to allow for simplex voice.
The only reference to a radio capable of VDSMS operation that I could find is from Uniden.
See review of the product here:

There must be more info out there.
