Accordingly, these financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Partnership’s annual reports on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the management of the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments and elimination of significant intercompany balances necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 19, 2019. On May 21, 2019, Part II, Items 6, 7, and 8 of the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019, was updated on Form 8-K/A to reflect the acquisition of Martin Transport, Inc. ("MTI") as if the Partnership owned these assets for the periods presented. See below "Acquisition of Martin Transport, Inc." within this Note 1 for more information. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated and condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Divestiture of Natural Gas Storage Assets. On June 28, 2019, the Partnership completed the sale of its membership interests in Arcadia Gas Storage, LLC, Cadeville Gas Storage LLC, Monroe Gas Storage Company, LLC and Perryville Gas Storage LLC (the “Natural Gas Storage Assets”) to Hartree Cardinal Gas, LLC ("Hartree"), a subsidiary of Hartree Bulk Storage, LLC. The Natural Gas Storage Assets consist of approximately 50 billion cubic feet of working capacity located in northern Louisiana and Mississippi. In consideration of the sale of the Natural Gas Storage Assets, the Partnership received cash proceeds of $210,067 after transaction fees and expenses. The net proceeds were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Partnership has concluded the disposition represents a strategic shift and will have a major effect on its financial results going forward. As a result, the Partnership has presented the results of operations and cash flows relating to the Natural Gas Storage Assets as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. See Note 4 for more information. Acquisition of Martin Transport, Inc. On January 2, 2019, the Partnership acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of MTI from Martin Resource Management Corporation. MTI operates a fleet of tank trucks providing transportation of petroleum products, liquid petroleum gas, chemicals, sulfur and other products, as well as owns 23 terminals located throughout the Gulf Coast and Southeastern regions of the United States. The acquisition of MTI was considered a transfer of net assets between entities under common control. As a result, the acquisition of MTI was recorded at amounts based on the historical carrying value of these assets at January 1, 2019, and the Partnership is required to update its historical financial statements to include the activities of MTI as of the date of common control. See Note 3 for more information. The Partnership’s accompanying historical financial statements have been retrospectively updated to reflect the effects on financial position, cash flows and results of operations attributable to the activities of MTI as if the Partnership owned these assets for the periods presented. See Note 3 for separate results of MTI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Net income attributable to MTI for periods prior to the Partnership’s acquisition of the assets is not allocated to the limited partners for purposes of calculating net income per limited partner unit. See Note 12. Divestiture of WTLPG Partnership Interest. On July 31, 2018, the Partnership completed the sale of its 20% non-operating interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline L.P. ("WTLPG") to ONEOK, Inc. (“ONEOK”). WTLPG owns an approximate 2,300 mile common-carrier pipeline system that primarily transports Natural Gas Liquids ("NGLs") from New Mexico and Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas for fractionation. A wholly-owned subsidiary of ONEOK, Inc. is the operator of the assets. The Partnership has concluded the disposition represents a strategic shift and will have a major effect on its financial results going forward. As a result, the Partnership has presented the results of operations and cash flows relating to its equity method investment in WTLPG as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which will expand the scope of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The standard is effective for the Partnership's financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019. The result of this adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated and condensed financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged and the Partnership believes substantially all of our leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new standard. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 , which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition. The Partnership adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, electing the transition option provided under ASU 2018-11. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Partnership elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits the Partnership not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Partnership elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those assets that qualify, the Partnership did not recognize Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. See Note 9 for more information.

On August 12, 2019, the Partnership completed the sale of its East Texas Pipeline for $17,500 . The Partnership recorded a gain on the disposition of $16,154 , which was included in "Other operating income, net" on the Partnership's Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. The net proceeds were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The divestiture of the East Texas Pipeline assets did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation under the guidance of ASC 205-20. Divestiture of Natural Gas Storage Assets. On June 28, 2019, the Partnership completed the sale of the Natural Gas Storage Assets to Hartree, a subsidiary of Hartree Bulk Storage, LLC. The Natural Gas Storage Assets consist of approximately 50 billion cubic feet of working capacity located in northern Louisiana and Mississippi. In consideration of the sale of these assets, the Partnership received cash proceeds of $210,067 after transaction fees and expenses. The net proceeds were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Partnership has concluded the disposition represents a strategic shift and will have a major effect on its financial results going forward. As a result, the Partnership has presented the results of operations and cash flows relating to the Natural Gas Storage Assets as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Partnership recognizes revenue when the Partnership satisfies a performance obligation, which typically occurs when the Partnership transfers control over a product to a customer or as the Partnership delivers a service. The following is a description of the principal activities - separated by reportable segments - from which the Partnership generates revenue. Terminalling and Storage Segment Revenue is recognized for storage contracts based on the contracted monthly tank fixed fee. For throughput contracts, revenue is recognized based on the volume moved through the Partnership’s terminals at the contracted rate. For the Partnership’s tolling agreement, revenue is recognized based on the contracted monthly reservation fee and throughput volumes moved through the facility. When lubricants and drilling fluids are sold by truck or rail, revenue is recognized when title is transfered, which is either upon delivering product to the customer or when the product leaves the Partnership's facility, depending on the specific terms of the contract. Delivery of product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Throughput and storage revenue in the table above includes non-cancelable revenue arrangements that are under the scope of ASC 842, whereby the Partnership has committed certain Terminalling and Storage assets in exchange for a minimum fee. Natural Gas Liquids Segment NGL distribution revenue is recognized when product is delivered by truck, rail, or pipeline to the Partnership's NGL customers. Revenue is recognized on title transfer of the product to the customer. Delivery of product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Sulfur Services Segment Revenue from sulfur and fertilizer product sales is recognized when the customer takes title to the product. Delivery of product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Revenue from sulfur services is recognized as services are performed during each monthly period. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Transportation Segment Revenue related to land transportation is recognized for line hauls based on a mileage rate. For contracted trips, revenue is recognized upon completion of the particular trip. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Revenue related to marine transportation is recognized for time charters based on a per day rate. For contracted trips, revenue is recognized upon completion of the particular trip. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. The table includes estimated minimum revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The Partnership applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Thereafter Total Terminalling and storage Throughput and storage $ 12,615 $ 49,405 $ 46,694 $ 42,735 $ 42,854 $ 392,624 $ 586,927 Sulfur services Sulfur product sales 4,271 4,898 1,181 295 — — 10,645 Transportation Offshore transportation 1,564 — — — — — 1,564 Total $ 18,450 $ 54,303 $ 47,875 $ 43,030 $ 42,854 $ 392,624 $ 599,136

The margin above LIBOR is set every three months. Indebtedness under the credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the base prime rate plus an applicable margin. All amounts outstanding at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are LIBOR loans ranges from 2.25% to 3.50% and the applicable margin for revolving loans that are base prime rate loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.50% . The applicable margin for existing LIBOR borrowings at September 30, 2019 is 3.50% . The credit facility contains various covenants which limit the Partnership’s ability to make certain investments and acquisitions; enter into certain agreements; incur indebtedness; sell assets; and make certain amendments to the Partnership's omnibus agreement with Martin Resource Management Corporation (the "Omnibus Agreement"). The Partnership is permitted to make quarterly distributions so long as no event of default exists. 2 The Partnership is in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. 3 The 2021 indenture restricts the Partnership’s ability to sell assets; pay distributions or repurchase units or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make investments; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. 4 On July 18, 2019, the Partnership amended its revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date from March 2020 to August 2023 and reduce commitments from $500,000 to $400,000 . The Partnership's amended revolving credit facility includes a provision which accelerates the maturity date to August 2020 if the senior unsecured notes are not refinanced in a manner not prohibited by the facility, by August 19, 2020. The Partnership paid cash interest, net of capitalized interest, in the amount of $17,533 and $20,551 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	LEASES In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842 , which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition. The Partnership elected the effective date transition method in ASC 842 and adopted the standard beginning January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Partnership elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits the Partnership not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Partnership also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption, meaning the Partnership does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for all leases that qualify. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are combined as a single lease component. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred and include certain index-based changes in rent, certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of approximately $19,047 of additional assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Partnership also acquired certain operating leases in the MTI transaction that resulted in additional assets and liabilities being recorded at the transaction date in accordance with ASU 2016-02 in the amount of $6,505 . The Partnership has numerous operating leases primarily for terminal facilities and transportation and other equipment. The leases generally provide that all expenses related to the equipment are to be paid by the lessee. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 17 years , some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years , and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year . The Partnership includes extension periods and excludes termination periods from its lease term if, at commencement, it is reasonably likely that the Partnership will exercise the option.

Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged and all of the Partnership's leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Partnership has non-cancelable revenue arrangements that are under the scope of ASC 842 whereby we have committed certain terminalling and storage assets in exchange for a minimum fee. Future minimum revenues the Partnership expects to receive under these non-cancelable arrangements as of September 30, 2019 are as follows: 2019 - $5,599 ; 2020 - $16,726 ; 2021 - $12,019 ; 2022 - $11,004 ; 2023 - $10,609 ; subsequent years - $58,356 .
Leases	LEASES In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842 , which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition. The Partnership elected the effective date transition method in ASC 842 and adopted the standard beginning January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Partnership elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits the Partnership not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Partnership also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption, meaning the Partnership does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for all leases that qualify. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are combined as a single lease component. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred and include certain index-based changes in rent, certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of approximately $19,047 of additional assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Partnership also acquired certain operating leases in the MTI transaction that resulted in additional assets and liabilities being recorded at the transaction date in accordance with ASU 2016-02 in the amount of $6,505 . The Partnership has numerous operating leases primarily for terminal facilities and transportation and other equipment. The leases generally provide that all expenses related to the equipment are to be paid by the lessee. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 17 years , some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years , and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year . The Partnership includes extension periods and excludes termination periods from its lease term if, at commencement, it is reasonably likely that the Partnership will exercise the option.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Partnership’s revenues and cost of products sold are materially impacted by changes in NGL prices. Additionally, the Partnership's results of operations are materially impacted by changes in interest rates. In an effort to manage its exposure to these risks, the Partnership periodically enters into various derivative instruments, including commodity and interest rate hedges. All derivatives and hedging instruments are non-hedge derivatives and are included on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized as gains and losses in earnings of the periods in which they occur. (a) Commodity Derivative Instruments The Partnership from time to time has used derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuation. Commodity risk is the adverse effect on the value of a liability or future purchase that results from a change in commodity price. The Partnership monitors and manages the commodity market risk associated with potential commodity risk exposure. In addition, the Partnership has focused on utilizing counterparties for these transactions whose financial condition is appropriate for the credit risk involved in each specific transaction. The Partnership has entered into hedging transactions as of September 30, 2019 to protect a portion of its commodity price risk exposure. These hedging arrangements are in the form of swaps and options for NGLs. At September 30, 2019 , the Partnership has instruments totaling a gross notional quantity of 1,029,000 barrels settling during the period from October 31, 2019 through February 29, 2020. At December 31, 2018 , the Partnership had instruments totaling a gross notional quantity of 55,000 barrels settling during the period from January 31, 2019 through February 28, 2019. These instruments settle against the applicable pricing source for each grade and location. (b) Interest Rate Derivative Instruments The Partnership is exposed to market risks associated with interest rates. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We minimize this market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. From time to time, the Partnership enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Partnership’s variable rate credit facility and its fixed rate senior unsecured notes. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Partnership did not have any outstanding interest rate derivative instruments. For information regarding gains and losses on interest rate derivative instruments, see "Tabular Presentation of Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments" below.

Partners' Capital

Partners' Capital Notes [Abstract]
Partners' Capital	PARTNERS' CAPITAL As of September 30, 2019 , Partners’ capital consisted of 38,863,389 common limited partner units, representing a 98% partnership interest, and a 2% general partner interest. Martin Resource Management Corporation, through subsidiaries, owns 6,114,532 of the Partnership's common limited partner units representing approximately 15.7% of the Partnership's outstanding common limited partner units. Martin Midstream GP LLC ("MMGP"), the Partnership's general partner, owns the 2% general partnership interest. Martin Resource Management Corporation controls the Partnership's general partner, by virtue of its 51% voting interest in MMGP Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), the sole member of the Partnership's general partner. The partnership agreement of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") contains specific provisions for the allocation of net income and losses to each of the partners for purposes of maintaining their respective partner capital accounts. Incentive Distribution Rights MMGP holds a 2% general partner interest and certain incentive distribution rights ("IDRs") in the Partnership. IDRs are a separate class of non-voting limited partner interest that may be transferred or sold by the general partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, and represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions after the minimum quarterly distribution and any cumulative arrearages on common units once certain target distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership is required to distribute all of its available cash from operating surplus, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The general partner was allocated no incentive distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The target distribution levels entitle the general partner to receive 2% of quarterly cash distributions from the minimum of $0.50 per unit up to $0.55 per unit, 15% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.55 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.625 per unit, 25% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.625 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.75 per unit and 50% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.75 per unit. Distributions of Available Cash The Partnership distributes all of its available cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to the general partner. Available cash is generally defined as all cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves its general partner determines in its reasonable discretion is necessary or appropriate to: (i) provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business; (ii) comply with applicable law, any debt instruments or other agreements; or (iii) provide funds for distributions to unitholders and the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters, plus all cash on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Net Income per Unit The Partnership follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 260-10 related to earnings per share, which addresses the application of the two-class method in determining income per unit for master limited partnerships having multiple classes of securities that may participate in partnership distributions accounted for as equity distributions. Undistributed earnings are allocated to the general partner and limited partners utilizing the contractual terms of the Partnership Agreement. Distributions to the general partner pursuant to the IDRs are limited to available cash that will be distributed as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, the Partnership does not allocate undistributed earnings to the general partner for the IDRs because the general partner's share of available cash is the maximum amount that the general partner would be contractually entitled to receive if all earnings for the period were distributed. When current period distributions are in excess of earnings, the excess distributions for the period are to be allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of income and losses specified in the Partnership Agreement. Additionally, as required under FASB ASC 260-10-45-61A, unvested share-based payments that entitle employees to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities, as defined in FASB ASC 260-10-20, for earnings per unit calculations. For purposes of computing diluted net income per unit, the Partnership uses the more dilutive of the two-class and if-converted methods. Under the if-converted method, the weighted-average number of subordinated units outstanding for the period is added to the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for purposes of computing basic net income per unit and the resulting amount is compared to the diluted net income per unit computed using the two-class method. The following is a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations and net income from discontinued operations allocated to the general partner and limited partners for purposes of calculating net income attributable to limited partners per unit: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Continuing operations: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 13,250 $ (7,880 ) $ (2,122 ) $ (9,384 ) Less pre-acquisition income allocated to the general partner — (3,117 ) — (8,055 ) Less general partner’s interest in net income (loss): Distributions payable on behalf of general partner interest 197 (73 ) 7 (208 ) General partner interest in undistributed income (loss) 68 (73 ) (49 ) 49 Less income (loss) allocable to unvested restricted units 72 (5 ) — (5 ) Limited partners’ interest in net income (loss) $ 12,913 $ (10,846 ) $ (2,080 ) $ (17,275 ) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Discontinued operations: Income (loss) from discontinued operations $ — $ 50,443 $ (179,466 ) $ 62,457 Less general partner’s interest in net income (loss): Distributions payable on behalf of general partner interest — 466 583 1,385 General partner interest in undistributed income (loss) — 469 (4,173 ) (326 ) Less income allocable to unvested restricted units — 32 5 34 Limited partners’ interest in net income (loss) $ — $ 49,476 $ (175,881 ) $ 61,364 The Partnership allocates the general partner's share of earnings between continuing and discontinued operations as a proportion of net income from continuing and discontinued operations to total net income. The following are the unit amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit for the periods presented: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Basic weighted average limited partner units outstanding 38,652,606 38,711,515 38,660,995 38,876,783 Dilutive effect of restricted units issued — 26,586 — 12,298 Total weighted average limited partner diluted units outstanding 38,652,606 38,738,101 38,660,995 38,889,081 All outstanding units were included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit and weighted based on the number of days such units were outstanding during the periods presented. All common unit equivalents were antidilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because the limited partners were allocated a net loss in this period.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Unit Based Awards	UNIT BASED AWARDS The Partnership recognizes compensation cost related to unit-based awards to both employees and non-employees in its consolidated and condensed financial statements in accordance with certain provisions of ASC 718. Amounts recognized in selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated and condensed financial statements with respect to these plans are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Employees $ 293 $ 326 $ 922 $ 767 Non-employee directors 56 26 142 105 Total unit-based compensation expense $ 349 $ 352 $ 1,064 $ 872 All of the Partnership's outstanding awards at September 30, 2019 met the criteria to be treated under equity classification. Long-Term Incentive Plans The Partnership's general partner has a long-term incentive plan for employees and directors of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. On May 26, 2017, the unitholders of the Partnership approved the Martin Midstream Partners L.P. 2017 Restricted Unit Plan (the "2017 LTIP"). The plan currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 3,000,000 common units, all of which can be awarded in the form of restricted units. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of the general partner’s board of directors (the "Compensation Committee"). A restricted unit is a unit that is granted to grantees with certain vesting restrictions, which may be time-based and/or performance-based. Once these restrictions lapse, the grantee is entitled to full ownership of the unit without restrictions. The Compensation Committee may determine to make grants under the plan containing such terms as the Compensation Committee shall determine under the plan. With respect to time-based restricted units ("TBRU's"), the Compensation Committee will determine the time period over which restricted units granted to employees and directors will vest. The Compensation Committee may also award a percentage of restricted units with vesting requirements based upon the achievement of specified pre-established performance targets ("Performance Based Restricted Units" or "PBRU's"). The performance targets may include, but are not limited to, the following: revenue and income measures, cash flow measures, net income before interest expense and income tax expense ("EBIT"), net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), distribution coverage metrics, expense measures, liquidity measures, market measures, corporate sustainability metrics, and other measures related to acquisitions, dispositions, operational objectives and succession planning objectives. PBRU's are earned only upon our achievement of an objective performance measure for the performance period. PBRU's which vest are payable in common units. Unvested units granted under the 2017 LTIP may or may not participate in cash distributions depending on the terms of each individual award agreement. The restricted units issued to directors generally vest in equal annual installments over a four -year period. Restricted units issued to employees generally vest in equal annual installments over three years of service. On February 11, 2019, the Partnership issued 5,648 TBRU's to each of the Partnership's three independent directors under the 2017 LTIP. These restricted common units vest in equal installments of 1,412 units on January 24, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. On March 1, 2018, the Partnership issued 301,550 TBRU's and 317,925 PBRU's to certain employees of Martin Resource Management Corporation. The TBRU's vest in equal installments over a three-year service period. The PBRU's will vest at the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on certain performance targets. In addition, the PBRU's awarded on March 1, 2018 that are achieved will only vest if the grantee is employed by Martin Resource Management Corporation on March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2019 , the Partnership is unable to ascertain if certain performance conditions will be achieved and, as such, has not recognized compensation expense for the vesting of the units. The Partnership will record compensation expense for the vested portion of the units once the achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable. The restricted units are valued at their fair value at the date of grant which is equal to the market value of common units on such date. A summary of the restricted unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is provided below: Number of Units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Unit Non-vested, beginning of period 624,125 $ 13.78 Granted (TBRU) 16,944 $ 12.45 Vested (107,762 ) $ 13.82 Forfeited (154,288 ) $ 13.90 Non-Vested, end of period 379,019 $ 13.91 Aggregate intrinsic value, end of period $ 1,721 A summary of the restricted units’ aggregate intrinsic value (market value at vesting date) and fair value of units vested (market value at date of grant) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is provided below: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Aggregate intrinsic value of units vested $ — $ — $ 1,351 $ 1,188 Fair value of units vested — — 1,551 2,232 As of September 30, 2019 , there was $2,113 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.76 years.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As of September 30, 2019 , Martin Resource Management Corporation owns 6,114,532 of the Partnership’s common units representing approximately 15.7% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner units. Martin Resource Management Corporation controls the Partnership's general partner by virtue of its 51% voting interest in Holdings, the sole member of the Partnership's general partner. The Partnership’s general partner, MMGP, owns a 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and the Partnership’s IDRs. The Partnership’s general partner’s ability, as general partner, to manage and operate the Partnership, and Martin Resource Management Corporation’s ownership as of September 30, 2019 , of approximately 15.7% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner units, effectively gives Martin Resource Management Corporation the ability to veto some of the Partnership’s actions and to control the Partnership’s management. The following is a description of the Partnership’s material related party agreements and transactions: Omnibus Agreement Omnibus Agreement . The Partnership and its general partner are parties to the Omnibus Agreement dated November 1, 2002, with Martin Resource Management Corporation that governs, among other things, potential competition and indemnification obligations among the parties to the agreement, related party transactions, the provision of general administration and support services by Martin Resource Management Corporation and the Partnership’s use of certain Martin Resource Management Corporation trade names and trademarks. The Omnibus Agreement was amended on November 25, 2009, to include processing crude oil into finished products including naphthenic lubricants, distillates, asphalt and other intermediate cuts. The Omnibus Agreement was amended further on October 1, 2012, to permit the Partnership to provide certain lubricant packaging products and services to Martin Resource Management Corporation. Non-Competition Provisions . Martin Resource Management Corporation has agreed for so long as it controls the general partner of the Partnership, not to engage in the business of: • providing terminalling and storage services for petroleum products and by-products including the refining, blending and packaging of finished lubricants; • providing land and marine transportation of petroleum products, by-products, and chemicals; • distributing NGLs; and • manufacturing and selling sulfur-based fertilizer products and other sulfur-related products. This restriction does not apply to: • the ownership and/or operation on the Partnership’s behalf of any asset or group of assets owned by it or its affiliates; • any business operated by Martin Resource Management Corporation, including the following: ◦ distributing fuel oil, marine fuel and other liquids; ◦ providing marine bunkering and other shore-based marine services in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida; ◦ operating a crude oil gathering business in Stephens, Arkansas; ◦ providing crude oil gathering, refining, and marketing services of base oils, asphalt, and distillate products in Smackover, Arkansas; ◦ providing crude oil marketing and transportation from the well head to the end market; ◦ operating an environmental consulting company; ◦ supplying employees and services for the operation of the Partnership's business; and ◦ operating, solely for the Partnership's account, the asphalt facilities in Omaha, Nebraska, Port Neches, Texas, Hondo, Texas, and South Houston, Texas. • any business that Martin Resource Management Corporation acquires or constructs that has a fair market value of less than $5,000 ; • any business that Martin Resource Management Corporation acquires or constructs that has a fair market value of $5,000 or more if the Partnership has been offered the opportunity to purchase the business for fair market value and the Partnership declines to do so with the concurrence of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership (the "Conflicts Committee"); and • any business that Martin Resource Management Corporation acquires or constructs where a portion of such business includes a restricted business and the fair market value of the restricted business is $5,000 or more and represents less than 20% of the aggregate value of the entire business to be acquired or constructed; provided that, following completion of the acquisition or construction, the Partnership will be provided the opportunity to purchase the restricted business. Services. Under the Omnibus Agreement, Martin Resource Management Corporation provides the Partnership with corporate staff, support services, and administrative services necessary to operate the Partnership’s business. The Omnibus Agreement requires the Partnership to reimburse Martin Resource Management Corporation for all direct expenses it incurs or payments it makes on the Partnership’s behalf or in connection with the operation of the Partnership’s business. There is no monetary limitation on the amount the Partnership is required to reimburse Martin Resource Management Corporation for direct expenses. In addition to the direct expenses, under the Omnibus Agreement, the Partnership is required to reimburse Martin Resource Management Corporation for indirect general and administrative and corporate overhead expenses. Effective January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, the Conflicts Committee approved an annual reimbursement amount for indirect expenses of $16,657 . The Partnership reimbursed Martin Resource Management Corporation for $4,164 and $4,104 of indirect expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Partnership reimbursed Martin Resource Management Corporation for $12,492 and $12,312 of indirect expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Conflicts Committee will review and approve future adjustments in the reimbursement amount for indirect expenses, if any, annually. These indirect expenses are intended to cover the centralized corporate functions Martin Resource Management Corporation provides to the Partnership, such as accounting, treasury, clerical, engineering, legal, billing, information technology, administration of insurance, general office expenses and employee benefit plans and other general corporate overhead functions the Partnership shares with Martin Resource Management Corporation retained businesses. The provisions of the Omnibus Agreement regarding Martin Resource Management Corporation’s services will terminate if Martin Resource Management Corporation ceases to control the general partner of the Partnership. Related Party Transactions . The Omnibus Agreement prohibits the Partnership from entering into any material agreement with Martin Resource Management Corporation without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee. For purposes of the Omnibus Agreement, the term "material agreements" means any agreement between the Partnership and Martin Resource Management Corporation that requires aggregate annual payments in excess of the then-applicable agreed upon reimbursable amount of indirect general and administrative expenses. Please read "Services" above. License Provisions. Under the Omnibus Agreement, Martin Resource Management Corporation has granted the Partnership a nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty-free right and license to use certain of its trade names and marks, as well as the trade names and marks used by some of its affiliates. Amendment and Termination. The Omnibus Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the parties; provided, however, that it may not be amended without the approval of the Conflicts Committee if such amendment would adversely affect the unitholders. The Omnibus Agreement was first amended on November 25, 2009, to permit the Partnership to provide refining services to Martin Resource Management Corporation. The Omnibus Agreement was amended further on October 1, 2012, to permit the Partnership to provide certain lubricant packaging products and services to Martin Resource Management Corporation. Such amendments were approved by the Conflicts Committee. The Omnibus Agreement, other than the indemnification provisions and the provisions limiting the amount for which the Partnership will reimburse Martin Resource Management Corporation for general and administrative services performed on its behalf, will terminate if the Partnership is no longer an affiliate of Martin Resource Management Corporation. Master Transportation Services Agreement Master Transportation Agreement. MTI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is a party to a master transportation services agreement effective January 1, 2019, with certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Martin Resource Management Corporation. Under the agreement, MTI agreed to transport Martin Resource Management Corporation's petroleum products and by-products. Term and Pricing. The agreement will continue unless either party terminates the agreement by giving at least 30 days' written notice to the other party. These rates are subject to any adjustments which are mutually agreed upon or in accordance with a price index. Additionally, shipping charges are also subject to fuel surcharges determined on a weekly basis in accordance with the U.S. Department of Energy’s national diesel price list. Indemnification. MTI has agreed to indemnify Martin Resource Management Corporation against all claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of MTI and its officers, employees, agents, representatives and subcontractors. Martin Resource Management Corporation has agreed to indemnify MTI against all claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Martin Resource Management Corporation and its officers, employees, agents, representatives and subcontractors. In the event a claim is the result of the joint negligence or misconduct of MTI and Martin Resource Management Corporation, indemnification obligations will be shared in proportion to each party’s allocable share of such joint negligence or misconduct. Marine Agreements Marine Transportation Agreement. The Partnership is a party to a marine transportation agreement effective January 1, 2006, as amended, under which the Partnership provides marine transportation services to Martin Resource Management Corporation on a spot-contract basis at applicable market rates. Effective each January 1, this agreement automatically renews for consecutive one year periods unless either party terminates the agreement by giving written notice to the other party at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the then applicable term. The fees the Partnership charges Martin Resource Management Corporation are based on applicable market rates. Marine Fuel. The Partnership is a party to an agreement with Martin Resource Management Corporation dated November 1, 2002, under which Martin Resource Management Corporation provides the Partnership with marine fuel from its locations in the Gulf of Mexico at a fixed rate in excess of the Platt’s U.S. Gulf Coast Index for #2 Fuel Oil. Under this agreement, the Partnership agreed to purchase all of its marine fuel requirements that occur in the areas serviced by Martin Resource Management Corporation. Terminal Services Agreements Diesel Fuel Terminal Services Agreement. Effective January 1, 2016, the Partnership entered into a second amended and restated terminalling services agreement under which the Partnership provides terminal services to Martin Resource Management Corporation for marine fuel distribution. At such time, the per gallon throughput fee the Partnership charged under this agreement was increased when compared to the previous agreement and may be adjusted annually based on a price index. This agreement was further amended on January 1, 2017, October 1, 2017, and April 1, 2019 to modify its minimum throughput requirements and throughput fees. The term of this agreement is currently evergreen and it will continue on a month to month basis until terminated by either party by giving 60 days’ written notice. Miscellaneous Terminal Services Agreements. The Partnership is currently party to several terminal services agreements and from time to time the Partnership may enter into other terminal service agreements for the purpose of providing terminal services to related parties. Individually, each of these agreements is immaterial but when considered in the aggregate they could be deemed material. These agreements are throughput based with a minimum volume commitment. Generally, the fees due under these agreements are adjusted annually based on a price index. Other Agreements Cross Tolling Agreement. The Partnership is a party to an amended and restated tolling agreement with Cross Oil Refining and Marketing, Inc. ("Cross") dated October 28, 2014, under which the Partnership processes crude oil into finished products, including naphthenic lubricants, distillates, asphalt and other intermediate cuts for Cross. The tolling agreement expires November 25, 2031. Under this tolling agreement, Cross agreed to process a minimum of 6,500 barrels per day of crude oil at the facility at a fixed price per barrel. Any additional barrels are processed at a modified price per barrel. In addition, Cross agreed to pay a monthly reservation fee and a periodic fuel surcharge fee based on certain parameters specified in the tolling agreement. All of these fees (other than the fuel surcharge) are subject to escalation annually based upon the greater of 3% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index for a specified annual period. In addition, on the third, sixth and ninth anniversaries of the agreement, the parties can negotiate an upward or downward adjustment in the fees subject to their mutual agreement. Sulfuric Acid Sales Agency Agreement . The Partnership was previously a party to a third amended and restated sulfuric acid sales agency agreement dated August 2, 2017 but effective October 1, 2017, under which a successor in interest to the agreement from Martin Resource Management Corporation, Saconix LLC ("Saconix"), a limited liability company in which Martin Resource Management Corporation held a minority equity interest, purchased and marketed the sulfuric acid produced by the Partnership’s sulfuric acid production plant at Plainview, Texas, that was not consumed by the Partnership’s internal operations. This agreement, as amended, was to remain in place until September 30, 2020 and automatically renew year to year thereafter until either party provided 90 days’ written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the then existing term. Under this agreement, the Partnership sold all of its excess sulfuric acid to Saconix, who then marketed and sold such acid to third-parties. The Partnership shared in the profit of such sales. Effective May 31, 2018, Martin Resource Management Corporation no longer holds an equity interest in Saconix. These transactions are reported below as related party transactions during the period the equity interest was held. Transactions subsequent to Martin Resource Management Corporation's disposition of the equity interest will be reported as third party transactions. Other Miscellaneous Agreements. From time to time the Partnership enters into other miscellaneous agreements with Martin Resource Management Corporation for the provision of other services or the purchase of other goods. The tables below summarize the related party transactions that are included in the related financial statement captions on the face of the Partnership’s Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. The revenues, costs and expenses reflected in these tables are tabulations of the related party transactions that are recorded in the corresponding captions of the consolidated and condensed financial statements and do not reflect a statement of profits and losses for related party transactions.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Partnership has four reportable segments: terminalling and storage, transportation, sulfur services and natural gas liquids. The Partnership’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The operating income of these segments is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make business decisions. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2 in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019, as amended on Form 8-K/A on May 21, 2019. The Partnership evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income. There is no allocation of administrative expenses or interest expense.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITTMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies From time to time, the Partnership is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. On December 31, 2015, the Partnership received a demand from a customer in its lubricants packaging business for defense and indemnity in connection with lawsuits filed against it in various United States District Courts, which generally allege that the customer engaged in unlawful and deceptive business practices in connection with its marketing and advertising of its private label motor oil. The Partnership disputes that it has any obligation to defend or indemnify the customer for its conduct. Accordingly, on January 7, 2016, the Partnership filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee requesting a judicial determination that the Partnership does not owe the customer the demanded defense and indemnity obligations. The lawsuits against the customer have been transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri for consolidated pretrial proceedings. On March 1, 2017, at the request of the parties, the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee administratively closed the Partnership's lawsuit pending rulings in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. In the event that either party moves the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee to reopen the case, we expect the Court would grant such motion and reopen the case. Further, the same customer has made a claim under the Partnership’s insurance policy. The insurer has denied the claim. However, in the event that the customer is successful in pursuing the claim, such action would negatively impact the Partnership because the Partnership has certain reimbursement obligations it would owe the insurance company. If the case is reopened or the insurance claim by the customer is successful, we are currently unable to determine the exposure we may have in this matter, if any.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing certain assets and liabilities. These inputs are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs represent the Partnership's own market assumptions. Unobservable inputs are used only if observable inputs are unavailable or not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions and are not corroborated by market data. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: Level 2 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Commodity derivative contracts, net $ 1,616 $ 4 The Partnership is required to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates are set forth below for these financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: • Accounts and other receivables, trade and other accounts payable, accrued interest payable, other accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and due from/to affiliates: The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments, and as such these have been excluded from the table below. There is negligible credit risk associated with these instruments. • Current and noncurrent portion of long-term debt: The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the debt having a variable interest rate and is in Level 2. The Partnership has not had any indicators which represent a change in the market spread associated with its variable interest rate debt. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes is considered Level 1, as the fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Provision for income taxes $ 237 $ 98 $ 1,572 $ 379 The operations of a partnership are generally not subject to income taxes, except for Texas margin tax, because its income is taxed directly to its partners. MTI is subject to income taxes due to its corporate structure. Total income tax expense of $237 and $1,114 , related to the operation of the subsidiary, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, resulted in an effective income tax rate of 27.37% and 25.88% , respectively. Total income tax expense of $6 and $6 , related to the operation of the subsidiary, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, resulted in an effective income tax rate of 0.2% and 0.1% , respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate and provision for income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , is primarily due to a change in MTI’s tax status from a non-taxable Qualified Subchapter S subsidiary (“QSub”) to a taxable C Corporation upon acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, MTI was a QSub of Martin Resource Management Corporation, a qualifying S Corporation. A QSub is not treated as a separate corporation for federal income tax purposes as it is deemed liquidated into its S Corporation parent. S Corporations are generally not subject to income taxes because income and losses flow through to shareholders and are reported on their individual returns. Subsequent to the acquisition, MTI will file stand-alone C Corporation returns. A current federal income tax expense (benefit) of $(51) and $167 , related to the operation of the subsidiary, were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , and $0 and $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. A current state income tax expense (benefit) of $45 and $(153) , related to the operation of the subsidiary, were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , and $6 and $6 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. In connection with the MTI acquisition, the Partnership also established deferred income taxes of $24,781 associated with book and tax basis differences of the acquired assets and liabilities. The basis differences are primarily related to property, plant and equipment and deductible tax goodwill. Equity of MTI was adjusted for the deferred tax consequences of the basis differences caused by the transaction between entities under common control. With respect to MTI, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 related to income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax expense related to the MTI temporary differences of $244 and $1,100 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and $0 and $0 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. A deferred tax asset of $23,681 and $0 , related to the cumulative book and tax temporary differences, existed at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. All income tax positions taken for all open years are more likely than not to be sustained based upon their technical merit under applicable tax laws.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which will expand the scope of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The standard is effective for the Partnership's financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019. The result of this adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated and condensed financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged and the Partnership believes substantially all of our leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new standard. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 , which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition. The Partnership adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, electing the transition option provided under ASU 2018-11. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Partnership elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits the Partnership not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Partnership elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those assets that qualify, the Partnership did not recognize Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. See Note 9 for more information.

The Partnership has not had any indicators which represent a change in the market spread associated with its variable interest rate debt. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes is considered Level 1, as the fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets.
