Exhibit 99.1
Martin Midstream Partners L.P.’s Senior Management Tours Affected Facilities and
Announces No Significant Impact From Hurricane Rita
KILGORE, TX – September 26, 2005 – Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: MMLP) (“MMLP” or
the “Partnership”) announced today it expects no significant impact on its operations as a result
of Hurricane Rita. Prior to Hurricane Rita, as with Katrina, the partnership enacted its standard
hurricane preparation protocol. This included a temporary suspension of various operating
activities including certain terminalling and marine operations, as well as a total evacuation of
employees in the path of Rita.
After a tour on September 25, 2005, senior management observed no damage to its marine
vessels and has concluded the impact to our storage and terminalling facilities was minimal. We
fully expect to be operational at our affected locations within days awaiting our customers, namely
area refineries and offshore E&P companies, to return to their normal operations. Although we may
have disruptions at some of the partnership’s locations, we expect to service our customer base
from other MMLP terminals.
