Might well be masonry paint. Some of the marine paint mfrs do 'deck paint' which is loaded with fine aggregate for a non-slip finish. My preferred technique is to mask out the areas you want to make non-slip, paint with you chosen topcoat, then sieve on dried silver sand. Once dried and after another couple of coats of paint you'll have neat non-slip areas for minimal cost.

International do an oil based deck paint branded as Interdeck which I used for several years.
However, I have just taken the plunge and painted the decks with Sandtex from B&Q which is a water based acrylic. A five litre can costs about the same as a 1 litre of Interdeck. Unfortunately they only do the textured stuff in 5 litre cans while the smooth is in 2.5 litres which would have been enough.
The Sandtex goes on far better than Interdeck with a roller and brush and dries more quickly. Abrade the old coating well with a belt or random orbital sander. If you try and paint over contaminated and UV affected paint, even textured, the new stuff will come away in sheets.
Trust me. I write from experience.
