    The petroleum products and by-products we collect, transport,
    store and market are produced primarily by major and independent
    oil and gas companies who often turn to third parties, such as
    us, for the transportation and disposition of these products. In
    addition to these major and independent oil and gas companies,
    our primary customers include independent refiners, large
    chemical companies, fertilizer manufacturers and other wholesale
    purchasers of these products. We operate primarily in the Gulf
    Coast region of the United States. This region is a major hub
    for petroleum refining, natural gas gathering and processing and
    support services for the exploration and production industry.

    We will receive net proceeds of approximately $49.6&#160;million
    from the sale of the 1,200,000&#160;common units offered by this
    prospectus supplement, after deducting underwriting discounts
    and estimated offering expenses. This amount includes a capital
    contribution from our general partner of approximately
    $1.0&#160;million to maintain its 2% general partner interest in
    our partnership. If the underwriter exercises its option to
    purchase 180,000 additional common units in full, we expect to
    receive additional net proceeds of approximately
    $7.5&#160;million. We will use the net proceeds from this
    offering and the capital contribution from our general partner
    to repay part of our outstanding indebtedness incurred under our
    revolving loan facility to fund both $50.0&#160;million in
    recent acquisitions and $72.3&#160;million in recent expansion
    capital expenditures. These acquisitions and expansion capital
    expenditures are described in &#147;Recent Developments&#148; in
    our annual report on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Form&#160;10-K</FONT>

    As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we had outstanding
    borrowings of approximately $93.0&#160;million under our
    revolving loan facility, with a weighted-average interest rate
    of 7.80%, and of $130.0&#160;million under our term loan
    facility, with a weighted-average interest rate of 7.19%.
    Borrowings under our credit facility are secured by
    substantially all of our assets and have been incurred primarily
    to finance historical acquisitions and expansion capital
    expenditures, including those noted above occurring in the prior
    12&#160;month period, as well as for general working capital
    needs from time to time. Our credit facility matures in November
    2010.

    We estimate that if you purchase common units in this offering
    and own them through the record date for the distribution for
    the fourth calendar quarter of 2009, then you will be allocated,
    on a cumulative basis, an amount of federal taxable income for
    that period that will be less than 20% of the cash distributed
    to you with respect to that period. These estimates are based
    upon the assumption that our available cash for distribution
    will be sufficient for us to make quarterly distributions of
    $0.64&#160;per unit to the holders of our common units, and
    other assumptions with respect to capital expenditures, cash
    flow and anticipated cash distributions. These estimates and
    assumptions are subject to, among other things, numerous
    business, economic, regulatory, competitive and political
    uncertainties beyond our control. Further, the estimates are
    based on current tax law and certain tax reporting positions
    that we have adopted with which the Internal Revenue Service
    could disagree. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the
    estimates will be correct. The actual percentage of
    distributions that will constitute taxable income could be
    higher or lower, and any differences could be material and could
    materially affect the value of the common units. For example,
    the percentage of distributions that will constitute taxable
    income to a purchaser of common units in this offering will be
    higher, and perhaps substantially higher, than our estimate with
    respect to the period described above if:

    The anticipated after-tax economic benefit of an investment in
    our common units depends largely on our being treated as a
    partnership for federal income tax purposes. We have not
    requested, and do not plan to request, a ruling from the IRS on
    this or any other tax matter affecting us.

    If we were treated as a corporation for federal income tax
    purposes, we would pay federal income tax on our taxable income
    at the corporate tax rate, which is currently a maximum of 35%,
    and would likely pay state income tax at varying rates.
    Distributions to you would generally be taxed again as corporate
    distributions, and no income, gains, losses or deductions would
    flow through to you. Because a tax would be imposed upon us as a
    corporation, our cash available for distribution to you would be
    substantially reduced. Therefore, treatment of us as a
    corporation would result in a material reduction in the
    anticipated cash flow and after-tax return to the unitholders,
    likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our
    common units. See &#147;Material Tax Considerations&#148; in the
    accompanying prospectus.

    Current law may change so as to cause us to be treated as a
    corporation for federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject
    us to entity-level taxation. In addition, because of widespread
    state budget deficits and other reasons, several states are
    evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation
    through the imposition of state income, franchise and other
    forms of taxation. For example, we will be subject to a new
    entity level tax on the portion of our income that is generated
    in Texas beginning in our tax year ending in 2007. Specifically,
    the Texas margin tax will be imposed at a maximum effective rate
    of 1.0% of our gross income apportioned to Texas. Imposition of
    such a tax on us by Texas, or any other state, will reduce the
    cash available for distribution to you.

    tax purposes, the minimum quarterly distribution amount and the
    target distribution amounts will be adjusted to reflect the
    impact of that law on us.

    the number of units over-allotted by the underwriter is not
    greater than the number of units it may purchase in the

    Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common
    units in the open market after the distribution has been
    completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In
    determining the source of the common units to close out the
    short position, the underwriter will consider, among other
    things, the price of common units available for purchase in the
    open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase
    common units through the over-allotment option. If the
    underwriter sells more common units than could be covered by the
    over-allotment option, resulting in a naked short position, the
    position can only be closed out by buying common units in the
    open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created
    if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward
    pressure on the price of the common units in the open market
    after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase
    in the offering.

    Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter&#146;s
    purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect
    of raising or maintaining the market price of the common units

    common units. As a result, the price of the common units may be
    higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open

    We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership formed in
    conjunction with our initial public offering in November 2002.
    We provide terminalling, marine transportation, distribution and
    midstream logistical services for producers and suppliers of
    hydrocarbon products and by-products, lubricants and other
    liquids. We also manufacture and market sulfur-based fertilizers
    and related products. Hydrocarbon products and by-products are
    produced primarily by major and independent oil and gas
    companies who often turn to independent third parties, such as
    us, for the transportation and disposition of these products. We
    operate primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the United States.
    This region is a major hub for petroleum refining, natural gas
    processing and support services to the offshore exploration and
    production industry. We provide our marine transportation and
    midstream logistical services and distribute hydrocarbon
    products and by-products primarily to customers who are located
    in this region or in close proximity to ports located along the
    Gulf of Mexico Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River
    inland waterway system. The fertilizer and related products we
    manufacture are sold throughout the United States. Martin
    Midstream GP LLC serves as our general partner and our
    operations are conducted through our operating partnership,
    Martin Operating Partnership. In addition, we own an
    unconsolidated non-controlling 49.5% limited partnership
    interest in CF&#160;Martin Sulfur, L.P., from which we receive a
    material portion of our net income and cash available for
    distribution. That partnership collects and aggregates,
    transports, stores and markets molten sulfur supplied by oil
    refiners and natural gas processors. Our partnership agreement
    limits our general partner&#146;s fiduciary duties to our
    unitholders and restricts the remedies available for actions
    taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute
    breaches of fiduciary duty.

    You should also be aware that the amount of cash we have
    available for distribution or to make principal or interest
    payments on our debt securities depends primarily on our cash
    flow, including cash flow from working capital borrowings, and
    not solely on profitability, which will be affected by non-cash
    items. In addition, our general partner determines the amount
    and timing of asset purchases and sales, capital expenditures,
    borrowings, issuances of additional partnership securities and
    the establishment of reserves, each of which can affect the
    amount of cash available for distribution to our unitholders. As
    a result, we may make cash distributions or make principal and
    interest payments on our debt securities during periods when we
    record losses and may not make cash distributions or may not
    make principal and interest payments on our debt securities

    National weather conditions have a substantial impact on the
    demand for our products. Unusually warm weather during the
    winter months can cause a significant decrease in the demand for
    LPG products, fuel oil and gasoline. Likewise, extreme weather
    conditions (either wet or dry) can decrease the demand for
    fertilizer. For example, an unusually wet spring can delay
    planting of seeds, which can leave insufficient time to apply
    fertilizer at the planting stage. Conversely, drought conditions
    can kill or severely stunt the growth of crops, thus eliminating
    the need to nurture plants with fertilizer. Any of these or
    similar conditions could result in a decline in our net income
    and cash flow, which would reduce our ability to make

    facilitate foreign flag competition for trades and cargoes
    reserved for United States flag vessels under the Jones Act and

    If unitholders sell common units, they will recognize gain or

    excess of the total net taxable income unitholders were
    allocated for a common unit, which decreased their tax basis in
    that common unit, will, in effect, become taxable income to them
    if the common unit is sold at a price greater than their tax
    basis in that common unit, even if the price they receive is
    less than their original cost. A substantial portion of the
    amount realized, whether or not representing gain, may be
    ordinary income to unitholders. Should the IRS successfully

    gain on the sale of units than would be the case under those

    <I>Characterization of Cash Distributions.</I>&#160;&#160;We
    will treat all available cash distributed as coming from
    operating surplus until the sum of all available cash
    distributed since we began operations equals the operating
    surplus as of the most recent date of determination of available
    cash. We will treat any amount distributed in excess of
    operating surplus, regardless of its source, as capital surplus.
    As reflected above, operating surplus includes $8.5&#160;million
    in addition to our cash balance at the closing of our initial
    public offering, cash receipts from our operations and cash from
    working capital borrowings. This amount does not reflect actual
    cash on hand at the closing of our initial public offering that
    was available for distribution to our unitholders. Rather, it is
    a provision that will enable us, if we choose, to distribute as
    operating surplus up to $8.5&#160;million of cash we receive in
    the future from non-operating sources, such as asset sales,
    issuances of securities and long-term borrowings, that would
    otherwise be distributed as capital surplus. While we do not
    currently anticipate that we will make any distributions from
    capital surplus in the near term, we may determine that the sale
    or disposition of an asset or business owned or acquired by us
    may be beneficial to our unitholders. If we distribute to you
    the equity we own in a subsidiary or the proceeds from the sale
    of one of our businesses, such a distribution would be
    characterized as a distribution from capital surplus.

    <I>Effect of a Distribution from Capital
    Surplus.</I>&#160;&#160;Our partnership agreement treats a
    distribution of capital surplus as the repayment of the initial
    unit price from the initial public offering, which is a return
    of capital. The initial public offering price less any
    distributions of capital surplus per unit is referred to as the
    &#147;unrecovered initial unit price.&#148; Each time a
    distribution of capital surplus is made, the minimum quarterly
    distribution and the target distribution levels will be reduced
    in the same proportion as the corresponding reduction in the
    unrecovered initial unit price. Because distributions of capital
    surplus will reduce the minimum quarterly distribution, after
    any of these distributions are made, it may be easier for our
    general partner to receive incentive distributions and for the
    subordinated units to convert into common units. Any
    distribution of capital surplus before the unrecovered initial
    unit price is reduced to zero, however, cannot be applied to the
    payment of the minimum quarterly distribution or any arrearages.

    Under the Delaware Act, a limited partnership may not make a
    distribution to a partner if, after the distribution, all
    liabilities of the limited partnership, other than liabilities
    to partners on account of their partnership interests and
    liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to
    specific property of the partnership, would exceed the fair
    value of the assets of the limited partnership. For the purpose
    of determining the fair value of the assets of a limited
    partnership, the Delaware Act provides that the fair value of
    property subject to liability for which recourse of creditors is
    limited shall be included in the assets of the limited
    partnership only to the extent that the fair value of that
    property exceeds that liability. The Delaware Act provides that
    a limited partner who receives a distribution and knew at the
    time of the distribution that the distribution was in violation
    of the Delaware Act is liable to the limited partnership for the
    amount of the distribution for three years. Under the Delaware
    Act, unless otherwise agreed, an assignee who becomes a
    substituted limited partner of a limited partnership is liable
    for the obligations of his assignor to make contributions to the
    partnership, except the assignee is not obligated for
    liabilities unknown to him at the time he became a limited
    partner and that could not be ascertained from our partnership
    agreement.

    No attempt has been made in this section to comment on all
    federal income tax matters affecting us or the unitholders.
    Moreover, this section focuses on unitholders who are individual

    application to corporations, estates, trusts, nonresident aliens

    federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash
    distributions are made to him by the partnership. Distributions

    Section&#160;7704 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that
    publicly traded partnerships will, as a general rule, be taxed
    as corporations. However, an exception, referred to as the
    &#147;Qualifying Income Exception,&#148; exists with respect to
    publicly traded partnerships of which 90% or more of the gross
    income for every taxable year consists of &#147;qualifying
    income.&#148; Qualifying income includes income and gains
    derived from the marketing, transportation, storage and
    processing of crude oil, natural gas and products thereof
    (including sales of propane to retail customers or end users),
    and certain other &#147;natural resources&#148; and products,
    including sulfur, sulfur products and fertilizer. Other types of
    qualifying income include interest other than from a financial
    business, dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale of
    real property and gains from the sale or other disposition of
    assets held for the production of income that otherwise
    constitutes qualifying income. We estimate that, as of the date
    of this prospectus, less than 7% of our gross income is not
    qualifying income. In reliance upon facts provided by Martin
    Resource Management, us and our general partner concerning the
    sources and amounts of gross income attributable to our
    businesses for the current calendar year through the month-end
    prior to the date of this prospectus, together with the
    representation that the composition of such gross income
    remained materially unchanged through the date of this
    prospectus, and based on applicable legal authority, Baker Botts
    L.L.P. is of the opinion that at least 90% of our gross income
    as of the date of this prospectus constitutes qualifying income.

    the year in which we fail to meet the Qualifying Income
    Exception, in return for stock in that corporation, and then
    distributed that stock to the unitholders in liquidation of

    If we were taxable as a corporation in any taxable year, either
    as a result of a failure to meet the Qualifying Income Exception
    or otherwise, our items of income, gain, loss and deduction
    would be reflected only on our tax return rather than being
    passed through to the unitholders, and our net income would be
    taxed at corporate rates. In addition, any distribution made to
    a unitholder would be treated as either taxable dividend income,
    to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and
    profits, or, in the absence of earnings and profits, a
    nontaxable return of capital, to the extent of the
    unitholder&#146;s tax basis in his common units, or taxable
    capital gain, after the unitholder&#146;s tax basis in his
    common units is reduced to zero. Accordingly, taxation as a
    corporation would result in a material reduction in a
    unitholder&#146;s cash flow and after-tax return and thus would

    will carry forward and will be allowable to the extent that his
    tax basis or at risk amount, whichever is the limiting factor,
    is subsequently increased. Upon the taxable disposition of a
    unit, any gain recognized by a unitholder can be offset by
    losses that were previously suspended by the at risk limitation

    common units, if the lender of those borrowed funds owns an

    generated in the future and will not be available to offset

    Regulation&#160;Section&#160;1.167(c)-1(a)(6) is not expected to
    directly apply to a material portion of our assets, if we
    determine that our position cannot reasonably be taken, we may
    take a depreciation or amortization position under which all
    purchasers acquiring units in the same month would receive
    depreciation or amortization, whether attributable to common
    basis or a Section&#160;743(b) adjustment, based upon the same
    applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in
    our assets. This kind of aggregate approach may result in lower
    annual depreciation or amortization deductions than would
    otherwise be allowable to some unitholders. This position will
    not be adopted if we determine that the loss of depreciation and
    amortization deductions will have a material adverse effect on
    the unitholders. If we choose not to utilize this aggregate
    method, we may use any other reasonable depreciation and
    amortization method to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic

    adverse effect on the unitholders. In addition, if purchasers of
    common units (other than those that are sold in this offering)
    are entitled to different treatment in respect of property as to
    which we are using the traditional method of eliminating
    differences in &#147;book&#148; and tax basis, we may also take
    a position that results in lower annual deductions to some or
    all of our unitholders than might otherwise be available. The
    IRS may challenge any method of depreciating the
    Section&#160;743(b) adjustment described in this paragraph. If
    this challenge were sustained, the uniformity of units might be
    affected, and the gain from the sale of units might be increased

    A Section&#160;754 election is advantageous if the
    transferee&#146;s tax basis in his units is higher than the
    units&#146; share of the aggregate tax basis of our assets

    his share of our assets for purposes of computing, among other
    items, his depreciation and depletion deductions and his share
    of any gain or loss on a sale of our assets. Conversely, a

    The calculations involved in the Section&#160;754 election are
    complex and will be made on the basis of assumptions as to the
    value of our assets and other matters. For example, the
    allocation of the Section&#160;743(b) adjustment among our
    assets must be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue
    Code. The IRS could seek to reallocate some or all of any
    Section&#160;743(b) adjustment allocated by us to our tangible
    assets to goodwill instead. Goodwill, as an intangible asset, is
    generally amortizable over a longer period of time or under a
    less accelerated method than our tangible assets. We cannot
    assure you that the determinations we make will not be
    successfully challenged by the IRS and that the deductions
    resulting from them will not be reduced or disallowed
    altogether. Should the IRS require a different basis adjustment
    to be made, and should, in our opinion, the expense of
    compliance exceed the benefit of the election, we may seek
    permission from the IRS to revoke our Section&#160;754 election.
    If permission is granted, a subsequent purchaser of units may be
    allocated more income than he would have been allocated had the
    election not been revoked.

    The IRS has ruled that a partner who acquires interests in a
    partnership in separate transactions must combine those
    interests and maintain a single adjusted tax basis for all those
    interests. Upon a sale or other disposition of less than all of
    those interests, a portion of that tax basis must be allocated
    to the interests sold using an &#147;equitable
    apportionment&#148; method. Treasury Regulations under
    Section&#160;1223 of the Internal Revenue Code allow a selling
    unitholder who can identify common units transferred with an
    ascertainable holding period to elect to use the actual holding
    period of the common units transferred. Thus, according to the
    ruling, a common unitholder will be unable to select high or low
    basis common units to sell as would be the case with corporate
    stock, but, according to the regulations, may designate specific
    common units sold for purposes of determining the holding period
    of units transferred. A unitholder electing to use the actual
    holding period of common units transferred must consistently use
    that identification method for all subsequent sales or exchanges
    of common units. A unitholder considering the purchase of
    additional units or a sale of common units purchased in separate
    transactions is urged to consult his tax advisor as to the
    possible consequences of this ruling and application of the

    Although you may not be required to file a return and pay taxes

    In some jurisdictions, tax losses may not produce a tax benefit

    in subsequent taxable years. Some of the jurisdictions may

    from amounts to be distributed to a unitholder who is not a
    resident of the jurisdiction. Withholding, the amount of which
    may be greater or less than a particular unitholder&#146;s
    income tax liability to the jurisdiction, generally does not
    relieve a nonresident unitholder from the obligation to file an
