<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS<BR>
COMPLETES SULFUR PROCESSING ACQUISITION &#150; ANNOUNCES CONSTRUCTION OF ORGANIC GROWTH PROJECT</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KILGORE, Texas, April&nbsp;21, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ &#151;
Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: MMLP) announced today that on April&nbsp;20, 2005, it acquired
the operating assets and sulfur inventories of Bay Sulfur Company located at the Port of Stockton,
California, for approximately $6.0&nbsp;million.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, Martin Midstream announced today that construction has commenced on a new $14.0
million sulfur processing facility at its Port Neches deep water marine terminal near Beaumont,
Texas. This new facility, when complete, will include sulfur processing, dry bulk storage and ship
loading assets.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Both of these facilities will process molten sulfur into pellets which will be stored at the
facilities until they are loaded onto ships and barges for delivery to customers. The majority of
the revenue generated by these assets will be fee based processing revenue from large customers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ruben S. Martin, President and CEO of Martin Midstream GP LLC, our general partner, stated
&#147;the acquisition of the Bay Sulfur assets is a great fit and a natural extension of our
terminalling business segment. We expect the Bay Sulfur acquisition to be immediately accretive to
our distributable cash flow. In addition, the construction of the new sulfur processing, storage
and loading assets at our Neches terminal is an organic growth opportunity that will also add
accretive cash flow upon its completion&#148;.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><I>About Martin Midstream Partners</I>
