Grimaldi offers Boston/West Africa service    The Port of Boston said last week that Grimaldi Group has begun monthly calls at its Autoport terminal in Charlestown, offering roll-on/roll-off service between the United States and West Africa.
   'Even in the current economic climate, ocean carriers see new opportunities to move cargo via the Port of Boston,' said Michael A. Leone, port director for the Massachusetts Port Authority.
   Grimaldi offers direct service to the countries of Senegal, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria, and provides connecting service on other Grimaldi vessels to Angola, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, the Ivory Coast, Western Ghana, Cameroon and the Congo.
   In addition to Boston, the Grimaldi West Africa Direct Service will also call New York, Baltimore, and Jacksonville, Fla.
