<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KILGORE, Texas, January&nbsp;19, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ &#151;
Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: MMLP) announced today that it has
declared a cash distribution of $0.525 per unit, payable on February&nbsp;13, 2004
to common and subordinated unitholders of record as of the close of business on
January&nbsp;30, 2004. This distribution reflects an increase of $0.025 per unit

and market conditions impacting MMLP.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>About Martin Midstream Partners</I>

distribution and midstream logistical services for producers and suppliers of
hydrocarbon products and by-products, lubricants and other liquids. The Company
also manufactures and markets sulfur-based fertilizers and related products and

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><I>Forward-Looking Statements</I>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Statements about Martin Midstream Partners&#146; outlook and all other
statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to financial
estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are
subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are
outside its control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
such statements. While MMLP believes that the assumptions concerning future
events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in
anticipating or predicting certain important factors. These factors include,
but are not limited to: adverse weather conditions; reliance on MMLP&#146;s
unconsolidated non-controlling interest in CF Martin Sulphur L.P.; the
incurrence of material liabilities that are not fully covered by insurance; the
price volatility and the supply availability of hydrocarbon products and
by-products; restrictions in its debt agreements; the prospects for and its
ability to make future acquisitions, including the ability to integrate
completed acquisitions; the performance of recently acquired businesses; the
seasonality of its business; the competition in the industry; changes in
regulations on the federal, state and local level that are applicable to its
business; the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel; the
loss of significant commercial relationships with Martin Resource Management
Corporation (&#147;MRMC&#148;), the owner of MMLP&#146;s general partner; interruption in
operations at its facilities; federal regulations

vessel industry; cost reimbursements it is required to pay to MRMC; conflicts
of interest and competition with MRMC; the decisions made by and the control of

discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in
the Company&#146;s annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Martin Midstream Partners disclaims any
intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including
financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future event, or
otherwise.
