Report and Anticipated 2003 Gross Revenues and Net Income</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KILGORE, Texas, February&nbsp;27, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ &#151;
Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: MMLP) announced today that it intends
to publicly release its financial results for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2003 and file its related 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or before March&nbsp;23, 2004. MMLP will
convene an investors&#146; conference call within two days following the public
release of its 2003 financial results in order to provide investors with a
detailed overview of such results. Further information concerning the timing
of this conference call will be publicly announced once the date and time of
the conference call are finalized.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on currently available information, on the date on which MMLP
publicly releases its 2003 financial results, it estimates that it will report
gross revenues of $192.7&nbsp;million and net income of $12.0&nbsp;million for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 as compared to gross revenues of $149.9&nbsp;million and net
income before income taxes of $8.2&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2002. The 2003 results only include the impact of nine days of operations
relating to MMLP&#146;s business and assets that were recently acquired from Tesoro
Marine Services, L.L.C. since this acquisition was consummated on December&nbsp;23,
2003. In addition, the 2003 results include a gain relating to an involuntary
conversion of assets of $0.6&nbsp;million attributable to a previously announced
casualty loss at MMLP&#146;s Odessa, Texas fertilizer plant.
