The invention relates to a whitening ultraviolet-proof ethylene-propylene rubber insulation control cable for ships and a manufacturing method thereof. The cable is characterized in that a whitening ultraviolet-proof ethylene-propylene rubber insulation layer is extruded at the periphery of a 0.35-2.5mm<2> tin-plated annealed stranded copper conductor to form an insulation wire core; a plurality of insulation wire cores are stranded to the right to form a cable core; and then an inner lining layer is extruded, a copper alloy wire weaving armor layer is coated, and an outer sheath is extruded successively. The insulation layer is prepared from the following raw material components: 12 parts of Keltan5508, 8 parts of Keltan21, 0.4-0.6 part of TAIC, 0.5-0.8 part of DCP (Dicumyl Peroxide), 0.3 -0.6 part of Ager MB, 0.1-0.2 parts of anti-aging agent 2246, 0.8-1.2 parts of oxidation zinc, 0.1-0.3 parts of stearic acid, 1-1.5 parts of rutile-type titanium dioxide, 10-12 parts of lightweight calcium carbonate, 10-12 parts of ultrafine talcum powder, 2-3 parts of 38# cylinder oil, 2-3 parts of vapor-phase-method hydrated silica, 0.05-0.1 parts of an ultraviolet absorbent UV-326, and 0.1-0.3 parts of coupling agent A-174. The insulation layer of the cable is white in color, good in mechanical property, excellent in anti-ultraviolet irradiation and anti-aging performance, and long in service life.
