Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: MMLP) announced today that it has
declared a cash distribution of $0.525 per unit, payable on November&nbsp;15, 2004
to common and subordinated unitholders of record as of the close of business on

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><I>Forward-Looking Statements</I>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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. A 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.
