I am a customs clearing agent and my job dictates that I update myself with ETAs of various vessels on most shipping line.
The ETAs chat are readily available for all to view at the shipping company offices in Tin-Can port.

Call 08036363467 or email duduconsultt@yahoo.com for your customs clearing agent.

OP
Now, here's what to do when you need to know which vessel and and arrival time;
Every shipping line has a website and on it, shipping schedules are listed according to trade lines. Trade lines are basically, shipping routes.
That is; Europe to West Africa, USA to West Africa, Asia to Europe etc etc.

Under the trade routes or shipping routes, choose North America to West Africa or USA to West Africa as the case may be.
Once u do so, it will load a pdf file for you listing the vessels under it, their departure and arrival time as the case may be
With this, you know when it left and when it is arriving. The same goes for container tracking just that this time, you user container number
You can't track vessels by by trying to know their exact location at every point in time.

Here we go;
go to; http://grimaldi.co.uk/

Once the front page opens, on the menu bar, u will see trade lines. Put your cursor on it and it drops down.
U will see series of headings, put ur cursor on schedules and choose USA-West Africa. Click on it and it opens this link

http://www.b2b.grimaldi.co.uk/webdata/sched_nw.htm

From there, trace the name of the vessel as is on the BOL with corresponding Voyage number
From there, u can see departure time and its various stop overs. U will see Lagos as well.

From that schedule ETA for Lagos is 28/7 - not far from 29th - 30th as quoted by Femmy2010.
Hope this helps.

This same rule applies to other shipping lines like Hoegh, Sallaum.
