I haven't heard anything specifically about that in the filings.
There was, however, that remark in one of the filings about the agreement last July (2016), wherein SINO said that the Company signed "a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with COSCO Logistics, which is owned by the PRC’s largest integrated shipping company, China COSCO Holdings Company Ltd.. Pursuant to that agreement, both parties will provide logistics services between the PRC and the U.S. and develop shipping customers as an end-to-end global logistics service. Starting in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 [which began July 1, 2016], the Company and COSCO Logistics began providing container trucking services on the west coast of the U.S.. The Company expects to increase its cooperation with COSCO Logistics and to provide inland transportation services in the U.S. for shipments to and from the PRC. According to the agreement, the two companies will also assess locations in the U.S. to potentially establish warehouse and/or distribution facilities in the coming months and share pricing information for short-haul trucking services across selected regions of the U.S."

I could not find a direct mention of Mississippi River. However this quote regarding SINO/US soybeans, the map of growing area and the ongoing effort to convert to containerization for bulk shipments puts the Mississippi in play:

Also, pursuant to the Project Agreements, Sino-Global will manage all ground logistics and custom declaration services in the U.S. for Sinotrans Guangxi and COSFRE Beijing. Currently, the commodities listed in the Project Agreements primarily include sulfur, soybean and petroleum jelly. As of the date of this release, COSFRE Beijing in partnership with Sino-Global, is now loading in total approximately 300 metric tons of sulfur in twenty-foot containers in Long Beach, California.
