What should a container ship look like, that easily cruises through hurricane?

Technology: Comparable to early XXIst century, except self-driving vehicles are already available.

On a tidally locked planet most of the models that I can found (ex. http://www.meteo.mcgill.ca/~tmerlis/coupled_tidally_locked.html) tend to predict permanent hurricane-like weather near the substellar point. To make everything more tricky, on the planet that I am planning for my story one of key sea routes should go near this point, thus ships would have to endure hurricane each time.

1. How would such a container ship look like in comparison to ships that we know from our planet? Would there be any significant shape change except making everything much more sturdy? Will there be fewer layers of containers above desk? Anything more?

2. In case of transporting any crew, any idea how to provide them with safety and comfort? Except of course putting them in to well... a padded room?

3. Or maybe the whole idea is not worthy and if one exists, a longer but safer route is the way to go?
