Lloyd's List newspaper will only be available online from the end of this year.
The 279 year old publication carries news for the shipping industry and started life as a notice pinned to the wall of a London coffee shop in the UK.
Since that time, the publication has seen little significant change and would still be recognisable by its founcer, Edward Lloyd, who started the newspaper 1734. Today's content still covers information about ship arrivals, departures and casualties around the world - including detailed analysis of the recent Costa Concordia cruise ship disaster.
However, the Lloyd's List readership has moved with the times and the newspaper is having to follow suite. According to research conducted by the paper, only 25 readers used the print edition. This surprising result prompting the move to digital, with the List now being available for PCs and mobile devices.
