Preparations, Impact and Naming
As Haishen remained out over open waters for the duration of its existence, there was no impact on any land-masses.
The name Haishen was submitted to the World Meteorological Organisation's Typhoon Committee by the People's Republic of China and was one of the original names submitted for use from January 1, 2000. The name Haishen is Chinese for the God of the sea and was last used in the 2002 Pacific typhoon season.
