Cng storage tanks can be any colour,metal and composite types,they always have outside protection or if fixed onsite,can be partially buried and surrounded with earth or sand.. as a barrier.
the longest is 53 ft usually a cylinder or a sphere for strength,stored at 3600 to 7000 psi,with a max pressure of cyl rated to 20,000psi, the transport trucks could be 1 large cyl or multi smaller cylinders say 12 inchs by 42 high interconnected by gas pipes and valves to shut off in a emergency/leak.
maybe someone has a time for gas transfer as stored gas , as could be double that of the transported gas cylinder(s) pressure, a article from 04/2014 claims to be the fastest transfer from storage to cng trucks, by " oasis ultra fast fill systems". the trucks in usa are powered by cng as over 24hrs the gas would heat up and expand and 1 % would be lost anyway,so the truck has a endless supply of fuel for a long journey.
adfuels(uk) actually show a cng truck stop,with a overhead gantry where the truck pulls in to be filled with liquid(x600 compression) cng for transport around the uk,so im guessing morocco might be a bit less safety conscious than the uk,so no armed or military escorts needed,,,,
