Just to give you an idea in my area on the East Coast what kind of configuration you're probably using.
I live right on the Delaware River a little north of Philadelphia.
16 and 13 are the general channels used for ship to ship, ship to bridge, bridge to bridge Etc. Channel 14 is Port operations in Philadelphia.
As far as the Coast Guard goes. Forget about Channel 21 and 23 they are not used anymore at all as working channels for the Coast Guard here. Primary channel for sector Delaware Bay is CG121 digital $293... it is encrypted sometimes for sensitive stuff like interdiction but for routine buoy maintenance and other things it's in the clear. They also use Channel 81 regularly. Auxiliary Coast Guard uses channel 83. Of course Channel 16 and 22 are as they always were. Helo channels are all the standard 300 megahertz AM channels.
Just to give you an idea how it works around here. Not familiar with any trunking systems and although there are 400 megahertz digital channels listed as CG4xx in the list above and Philadelphia has one assigned to it, I never hear anything on it.
