Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the anthropological course for a psychological internalization of a green port when the political and legal motives for solving environmental problems are limited and the values of personalism that are relevant to a democratic state are rejected and the port in the public mind is reduced to the traditional business of maritime mafia. The personal, free, conscious, and comprehensive psychological internalization of the green port encompasses the ontological anthropological, axiological ethical and aesthetical aspects of the seaport’s existence as well as the technological activities from the perspective of spiritual ecology. Panhominism is placed in contrast to a comprehensive approach towards a sustainable relationship between the port’s infrastructure and superstructure and nature itself. The perception of a symbolic link between the seaport and the individual’s spiritual world motivates the implementation of the green port. Limited techno-legal psycho-political mechanisms in higher education cannot foster an ecological attitude. Meaningful, personalistic, and anthropological symbolistic education is oriented towards the individual’s ecological self-awareness in the direction of techno-cultural self-expression, which is based on the integrity of the person.
