As a Volunteer Marine Rescue organisation we have a need to control a remote radio via internet. There appears to be no VHF Marine radio's with control interfaces, but some with remote control mic's. Could the control signals from the control mic be read via an Arduino / raspberry pi module and transmitted via LAN to another module on the other end then into the radio, and lcd screen data sent the other way? Audio could be via VOIP.

That is probably because the FCC will not license unattended marine vhf radios.

I have (somewhere) an Irish marine radio licence and I agree generally with @Paul_KD7HB. The licence requirements are very strict.
In any case you have not explained what you are trying to achieve.

The closest you could come would be a repeater station, but that is not allowed, either. For quite few years, radio amateurs have been using the internet to remote their software defined radios. Many use a smart phone to control and send/receive, change frequencies, change bands, and even rotate their beam antennas.
