Oil spill incidents in the sea or harbors occur with some regularity during exploration, production, and transport of petroleum products. In order to mitigate the impact of the oil spill in the marine life, immediate, safety, effective and eco-friendly actions must be taken. Autonomous vehicles can assume an important contribution by establishing a cooperative and coordinated intervention. This paper presents the development of a path planning control-law methods for an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) being able to contour the oil spill while is deploying microorganisms and nutrients (bioremediation) capable of mitigating and contain the oil spill spread with the collaboration of a UAV vehicle. An oil spill simulation scenario was developed in Gazebo to support the evaluation of the cooperative actions between the ASV and UAV and to infer the ASV path planning for each one of the proposed control-law methods.
